Clean Eating Turkey Vegetable Meatloaf Casserole Recipe

By

This Clean Eating Turkey Vegetable Meatloaf Casserole recipe is a wonderfully comforting way to enjoy dinner with fewer carbs.

As many of you know, I’ve returned to low carb eating, but on my own terms. So far so good, as it’s controlling my blood sugar wonderfully! I still cook plenty of higher carb dishes for Mini Chef and for friends. But for myself, the low carb thing is really helping. I feel much better too.

But that doesn’t change my need for comfort foods. I still crave a comforting meal, particularly during colder months and few things beat a good meatloaf casserole. In fact, I have a small but growing list of new comfort foods that are lower in carbs. I do miss my lentils, but they do a number on my blood sugar. So all I can do is work on creating a new list of favorite foods. It’s kind of a fun adventure!

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are a classic American comfort food. But the potatoes don’t work for me these days. If you prefer carbs, by all means, use mashed potatoes instead! But if, like me, you are trying to lower your carb intake, then this cauli-mash is the perfect replacement. I hope you’ll enjoy this Clean Eating Turkey Vegetable Meatloaf Casserole recipe. We sure did!

CLEAN EATING TURKEY VEGETABLE MEATLOAF CASSEROLE RECIPE:

Clean Eating Turkey Vegetable Meatloaf Casserole

Few comfort foods can beat a good meatloaf. But serve it with mashed deliciousness covering the top and you have a whole new level of comfort food.

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Yield: 6 servings

Calories: 246 kcal

Author: The Gracious Pantry

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. ground turkey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried ground rosemary
  • 1/4 cup fresh, chopped parsley
  • 1 cup finely chopped, fresh broccoli
  • CAULI-MASH:
  • 2 (12 oz.) packages riced cauliflower (I used frozen, but raw works too)
  • 2 tbsp. butter (or butter substitute for dairy free)
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Place all meat loaf ingredients in a large mixing bowl and knead to combine thoroughly. Transfer to a greased loaf pan and even the surface of the loaf.

  2. Bake for 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches at least 165 F.

  3. While the meatloaf bakes, cook the cauliflower and cool.

  4. When cool enough to touch, transfer to a cheese cloth and wring out as much liquid as you can over the sink.

  5. Once you've gotten as much water out of the cauliflower as you can, transfer it to a blender, food processor or back to the empty pot you cooked it in if you have a stick blender.

  6. Add in the butter and garlic powder and blend until you have a smooth mash.

  7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and smooth the mash over the meatloaf. Top with a little fresh, chopped parsley and slice to serve.

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
