Keto Cheese Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf
Your taste buds change as you age! Many adults have come to not appreciate beef quite like they used to, but ground turkey makes a wonderful substitute that is flavorful, sits lighter in the stomach, and is healthier! This turkey meatloaf is stuffed with gooey cheese and topped with baked marinara sauce. Yum!

Recipe Steps
steps 5
1 h 20 min
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine the ground turkey with the shredded parm, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder, and fresh chopped parsley (you can use dried if you don’t have fresh on hand, but fresh tastes better).Step 2
Lightly spray a loaf pan or rectangular baking dish. Press half the ground tukey mix into the pan, creating a pocket in the middle. Load the pocket in the center of the loaf with the first amount of shredded mozzarella.Step 3
Press the second amount of ground turkey over the bottom half of the loaf, making sure to seal the edges so the cheese doesn’t squeeze out during baking. Spread the marina sauce over the top of the loaf, and sprinkle about 2 TB of additional mozzarella over the top.Step 4
Bake the meatloaf for about 60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads at least 165 degrees fahrenheit.Step 5
Allow the meatloaf to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 slices. Enjoy!

Delicious. The only thing I changed was the mozzarella. I used gruyere cheese instead.

Tastes fantastic!! Super easy to make as well!! The spices are almost the same in marinara compared to what you mix into the Turkey - save some shopping and mix up the spices to start with the split it some for mince some for sauce.

This was surprisingly good! With no egg or type of flour - I thought it would be crumbly and dry - but it was very tasty!

If I choose to omit the cheese, how do I adjust the macros to reflect correct calories & fat content
James Goodhew 2 years ago
I used nooch in the mince instead of parmeggiano. And goat’s cheese cos it’s A2 and not inflammatory. I appreciate there’s loads of possible reasons for skipping the cheese but just for info for those looking, that’s what I did and it came out awesome.

Is there a similar recipe without cheese?

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I made one mistake in preparation, but it still worked. I'm blind, so accidentally took out a pound of turkey and a pound of pork, so it ended up being a mixture. Next time I'll be doing it as written, but the pork was still amazing with this!

How does one change ingredients to log recipe? Like from turkey to chicken?

Found it very dense and dry. I think I used to lean turkey. Crumbled it up the next day and mixed with Marinara Sauce and served over Spaghetti Squash. It was very good

Swapped out Turkey for Chicken, but very delicious!

Dear recipewriter Jessica: I'm about to make this turkey meatloaf. Do you think it would work to mix the cheese into the meat instead of having a pocket of cheese? I see some people had trouble with it running out. I'm amazed there's no eggs, but gues the cheese if the binder.

Family did not care for this one at all... will stick with our pork and beef version.

Tasty but I think I served it too soon. All the cheese poured out when I cut it. Next time I’ll let it sit for at least 30 mins before serving.

This was really good although my cheese inside melted. But I would still make again.

I found a new Barila marinara without sugar. Called Vero Gusto Heritage marinara. 1 net carb for 1/2 cup.

What marinara sauce was used for this recipe?
recipewriter 7 years ago
Reggano Marinara was used in the original recipe here (purchased at Aldi U.S.). Any basic marinara sauce should have similar nutritional value.

Woul it be okay if I use ground beef
recipewriter 7 years ago
Yes! Please note this will change you protein and fat macros if you replace the turkey.

I switched the ground turkey for ground chicken. I also had a little extra sauce as this can be kind of meaty. Also I didn’t have shredded mozzarella so chopped up mozzarella. Either way this is a very satisfying meal!

Can I use grated Parmesan instead of using shredded and how much would I use? Thank u!
recipewriter 7 years ago
Grated parmesan should be okay here, since it is used as a binder for the meatloaf. I would reduce the amount from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup.

Used rotel and decreased mozzarella cheese I am trying to figure out what the calories would be protein carbs and fat

Protein and carbohydrates each contain 4 calories per gram, and fat contains 9 calories per gram. Hope this helps you!
