Equipment
Ingredients
Low Carb Meatloaf
- 1 lb ground turkey see note 1
- ¼ cup almond flour see note 2
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 5 teaspoons sugar-free ketchup
Parmesan Cauliflower Mash
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup chicken stock or vegetable
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- ½ cup greek yogurt see note 3
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Other
- 3 cups broccoli florets, steamed
Instructions
Low Carb Meatloaf Cups
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tray with 10 silicone or parchment liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, almond flour, egg, worcestershire, salt, basil and oregano. Divide mixture between the muffin tray. Press down gently with your fingers.
- Spoon the sugar-free ketchup over each meatloaf cup and spread around.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until cooked through. Allow to cool completely before popping the meatloaf cups out of the liners.
Parmesan Mashed Cauliflower
- Place the stock and garlic cloves in the bottom of a 6 quart Instant Pot. Place the trivet on top and the cauliflower on the trivet.
- Cook for 15 minutes on the steam setting. Do a quick pressure release (release the pressure immediately when the IP beeps). Allow the cauliflower to rest with the lid open for 10 or so minutes, until it cools slightly and it safer to handle (and allows extra moisture to drip off).
- Carefully transfer the cauliflower to a new pot with as little liquid as possible from the Instant Pot.
- Mash with the yogurt, cheese, salt and pepper.

Steamed Broccoli
- In a large glass measuring cup, add the broccoli and ¼ cup of water. Cover and microwave for 3-5 minutes, until broccoli is slightly soft. Remember it will cook more when you re-heat so a bit of crunch is OK.
Assembly
- Divide between 5 2-cup capacity glass storage containers. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To Serve
- Heat in the microwave until steaming hot.
