Ingredients:

  • Coconut Oil (enough to coat the pan)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (you can use gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (measure ¼ cup, then cut into smaller pieces to distribute throughout better)
  • ½ cup goat cheese
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley (or 8 teaspoons of dried parsley)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced or pressed)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 pound ground turkey

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
  2. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil.

Notes: 

Cook time can vary depending on your oven (about 50-60 minutes).

Let sit for 5-10 minutes after pulling out of the oven for extra juices to soak in before cutting and serving.
