Paleo turkey meatloaf with hot sauce seasoning on a pan.

Recipe ingredients

Ground turkey– make sure to use regular fat turkey and not low fat. The meatloaf is more moist when regular ground turkey is used.
Almond flour– blanched almond flour works well because it is refined in texture.
Hot sauce– we highly recommend using Frank’s Redhot as your hot sauce because it made out of all natural ingredients, and is satisfying!
Garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder– these spices season the meat while it cooks.
Eggs– these bind the meatloaf together.
Strained tomatoes– any simple tomato sauce will also work here.
