Ground turkey rolled up with vegetables and surrounded in crispy bacon for the ultimate low-carb dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (455 g) ground turkey
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, or soy sauce
• 1 ½ teaspoon Italian spice blend
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

• 8 strips bacon (about 8 ounces/240 g)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and have on hand a large cast-iron frying pan.
2. Place the ground turkey, grated carrot, diced onion, coconut flour, aminos, Italian spice blend, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Take a portion and roll it between your hands to create a 3 by 11⁄2-inch (7.5 by 4 cm) cylinder. Wrap one strip of bacon around the cylinder. Place the wrapped cylinder in the cast-iron pan with the loose bacon ends tucked underneath. Repeat with the remaining meat, spacing the wrapped cylinders at least 1⁄2 inch (1.25 cm) apart in the pan.
4. Once complete, transfer the mini meatloaves to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Set your oven broiler to high, keeping the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Broil the meatloaves for up to 2 minutes, just until the bacon has become crisp.
6. Remove the meatloaves from the oven and serve. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
