Originally, I shared this recipe back in 2017- my first take on homemade meatloaf, paleo-style. It was pretty darn good. However, I recently upgraded and updated the recipe. Surprisingly, it’s even better than the first time around!
The mashed sweet potato is a flavorful and moist alternative to bread crumbs used in traditional meatloaf recipes. I used coconut aminos in place of worcestershire sauce and replaced ketchup with tomato paste. And, finally, I swapped 1 lb of ground beef for ground turkey, reducing the fat content just a tad. All in all, this recipe is an awesome alternative to a traditional meatloaf.
Oh, and did I mention this delicious recipe can easily feed 8 people?! With a whopping 2 pounds of meat, this bad boy is humungous and incredibly filling. If you don’t have 8 people to feed, you will have some yummy leftovers for a few days!
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb lb ground turkey
- 1 1/2 cup sweet potato (skinned and mashed)
