1 lb ground turkey
1 lb lean italian sausage
1 small onion diced small
3 eggs
2 8oz cans of tomato sauce
1 8oz can of tomato paste
2 cups bread crumb substitute
Italian Herbs
2 cloves garlic
Pinch Hitter Recipe:
Take a bag of pork rinds and crush them until you have crumbs. Substitute pork rind crumbs for bread crumbs. ***Note: While pork rinds have no carbs, they are a high fat/high calorie food so they should not be used often.
Place the meat in a bowl and mix. Add eggs, onion, garlic, bread crumb substitute, herbs, and one 8oz can of tomato sauce. Mix well with your hands. Spread into a baking dish of your preference. The thinner you spread it the less time it takes to cook. Place in the oven at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes or until meat is cooked all the way through in the middle. Mix 2 Tbsp of tomato paste with 2 Tbsp of tomato sauce (this makes a thick mixture for the topping) and spread mixture on top of meat loaf and return to the oven for 5 minutes. I served it with cheesy cauliflower.
Now you can turn on your "Bat Out of Hell" album, sit down for dinner, and enjoy your Meatloaf.
I bet the sausage gave this meatloaf such a great flavor!
ReplyDeleteI just found your site and have put it on my google reader. I was wondering are you following a specific type low carb diet? ie: Atkins or Belly Fat..I didn't see it in any of your posts and was just curious. I am starting back with low carb and guess I will be doing one of these.
ReplyDeleteI am not strictly following a specific diet. I tried Atkins awhile ago but felt that it was too strict on carbs but allowed to much fat and calories. I am now doing a diet that is similar but more based on South Beach. Basically cut out all heavy carbs, sugar, and processed food but at the same time try to reduce calories and fat.
