Every Tuesday night my daughter has Rugby practice which takes a lot out of her and she comes home famished. As she comes in the door all I hear is “I’m home, whats for dinner?”. When I told her meatloaf I can tell you that excitement didn’t ooze from her…until I said it has cheese. Then she smiled and went to put her gear away.

This meatloaf is a hearty protein packed meal very different from the way your granma used to make it. Packed with iron rich spinach, full flavoured feta and topped with a wonderful garlicky tzatziki (get the recipe HERE) it has turned into a gyro inspired dish. I also made my own delicious gyro seasoning HERE.

To lower the carbs I used coconut flour or almond meal instead of bread crumbs which also conveniently makes the meatloaf gluten free.

This meatloaf is 5.9g net carbs, super high in protein with a whopping 33.3g and 11 Weight Watchers points.

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 325F.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, salt and pepper and saute until onions are translucent, about 15 minutes. Add in spinach and stir until heated through.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine onion mixture, turkey, coconut flour, chicken stock, egg and worcestershire sauce. Mix until combined.
  4. Place half of the turkey mixture on prepared baking sheet and shape into a flat rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
  5. Cover with feta cheese, pressing on feta to adhere to meatloaf. Place remaining turkey mixture overtop of feta and shape the whole thing into a rough loaf.
  6. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 160F. Cut into slices and drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
