Ingredients
Scale
Meatloaf
- 2 lbs ground turkey or ground beef
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup almond flour or crushed pork rinds
- ⅓ cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
- ¾ tsp salt, or to taste
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh or dried parsley
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tsp coconut aminos or tamari
- 8 tbsp no-sugar-added ketchup (for topping)
Vegetables
- 8 oz button mini mushrooms, cleaned
- 1 ½ lbs green beans, frozen or fresh, cleaned
- 1 large sweet onion, roughly chopped into chunks
Seasoning for Veggies
- 1 ½ tbsp avocado oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside to prepare for cooking.
- Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey or ground beef, almond flour, and beaten egg. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat. Add tomato sauce, chopped sweet onion, salt, cracked black pepper, parsley, and minced garlic. Stir everything together until fully incorporated.
- Shape the Meatloaves: Divide the meat mixture evenly into 8 portions. Shape each portion into a mini meatloaf and arrange them spaced evenly on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
- Start Cooking the Meatloaves: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake the mini meatloaves for 10 minutes to begin the cooking process.
- Prepare the Veggies: While the meatloaves cook, place the green beans in a medium mixing bowl. Toss them with avocado oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Add cleaned mushrooms and toss everything together with the same seasoning mix for a uniform flavor.
- Add the Veggies: After the initial 10 minutes, carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Arrange the seasoned green beans and mushrooms on the opposite side of the pan from the mini meatloaves. Top each mini meatloaf with 1 tablespoon of no-sugar-added ketchup to create a flavorful glaze.
- Finish Cooking: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 165°F, ensuring they are fully cooked and juicy.
Notes
- Ground turkey can be substituted with ground beef based on preference.
- Using almond flour keeps the recipe gluten free; crushed pork rinds is a low-carb alternative.
- Check meatloaf internal temperature for safety—should reach 165°F.
- Using no-sugar-added ketchup helps reduce sugar content while adding flavor.
- If fresh green beans are not available, frozen green beans work well too.
- Feel free to add extra herbs like thyme or rosemary for variation.
