Ingredients

Paleo Bacon Ricotta Turkey Meatloaf

• 2 lbs. 93/7 organic ground turkey
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 leek, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. Coconut Aminos
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. garlic oil
• 1 - 8 oz. package Kite Hill Farms Ricotta
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 6-8 slices bacon, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
2. Cook bacon to package directions or however you prefer your bacon to be cooked. My favorite is baked in the oven. After bacon is cooked, set aside to cool.
3. Grate carrots using a grating (or shredding) disc on a food processor. Store bought grated carrots will be too thick.
4. Chop and dice leek and set aside.
5. Saute leek in a saucepan with 1 tsp. garlic oil
6. In a large bowl combine turkey, chopped bacon, leek, carrots, coconut aminos, salt, ricotta, and thyme. Mix by hand until all ingredients are well incorporated.
7. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and form into a meatloaf shape. You could also use a 9x5 loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Fill the loaf pan with meatloaf mixture.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 75-90 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165-170 degrees. (You can check this by using a meat thermometer)
9. Let meatloaf sit for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
