One of the most popular recipe on the blog, Whole30 Tomato Basil Turkey Meatloaf will have everyone asking for more.

Let’s talk about this Whole30 Tomato Basil Turkey Meatloaf people.  This meatloaf is also Paleo Compliant! The other night Matt and I were making a meatloaf, which we do all the time, when I realized I have never put a recipe on my site for one!!  I seriously didn’t believe it and searched my blog for one and NOTHING! I apologize! I think my hesitation has been that they aren’t the prettiest things to photograph and are SO easy to make – but that is the best right?  Who wants pretty meatloaf anyways.  When we make meatloaf it always turns into an Italian meatloaf because we just gravitate towards the oregano and basil once the tomato paste goes in! So I thought I would actually measure things this time and put together a solid recipe – which this definitely is! I love meatloaf for many reasons but the main one is that it could not be easier to make.  We make meatballs a lot too and this is basically the same thing without all of that effort to form them into balls.  Just plop the whole thing on a baking sheet and free form it into a loaf like shape – pour some stuff on top and bake!

The key to this Whole 30 Tomato Basil Turkey Meatloaf:

Fresh basil!!! I am a huge fan of dried herbs don’t get me wrong, but there is something about basil in particular that is SO much better than dried.  I can’t explain it, just trust me!  I want to work on getting an herb garden when I have some time to start working on our backyard and I will, at that point, need SO much help.  I have a black thumb and I really want to figure out how to just keep a few herbs alive!  My from Lindsay who runs the blog The Toasted Pinenut, and I were talking about this the other day and agreed Rosemary and Mint would be good ones for me to start with! I’ll report back on that later!

This Whole30 Meatloaf is So So So delish and easy to wolf down – you have been warned!

Nutrition for Paleo Turkey Meatloaf Tomato Basil:

Ground turkey is such a great substitute for regular ground beef for many reasons, like the fact that it is a lot lower in fat, cholesterol and calories.  What is amazing is this Paleo Turkey Meatloaf and all the other recipes still have a great amount of protein for your balanced meal.  This one is coming in at a whopping 19.9 grams of protein per slice! The average adult should aim for 65-85 grams of protein just for normal energy balance, so this one slice of meatloaf can account for almost 1/3 of your daily protein needs!  Yay!
