Easy and delicious Greek Meatloaf recipe Greek Meatloaf

This Greek inspired meatloaf reminds me of the Gyro meat I often ate during my time in Europe. It has flavors of lemon, fennel and mint to make a fragrant and delicious meatloaf. You can also make a meatball version that cooks more quickly and makes a wonderful appetizer.

I pair this meatloaf with a greek yogurt cucumber sauce and salad with fennel greens added for a full Greek inspired meal. Now to eventually actually make it to Greece one day!

  • Sauce: 1 cup greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon minced garlic or ½ tsp garlic powder, pinch of salt, teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 cucumber( finely chopped)(makes enough for 4 servings)

Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, mix the grated onion, ground turkey, almond flour, fennel greens, fennel bulb, egg, lemon juice and zest, mint, garlic, salt and pepper with hands. Add any extra almond flour if needed to make thick enough to form into meat balls.

  4. Place in the oven for approximately 45-60 minutes or until cooked through. Time will vary based on how thick you make the loaf.
  5. While cooking, mix the ingredients for the yogurt sauce.
  6. Serve meatloaf with the yogurt sauce and salad on the side. The yogurt dip also makes a great salad dressing.
  7. Enjoy!

    by cutting cucumber in half length-wise, removing seeds, grating and then straining, you will get a more authentic Tzatziki without being to watery. i can’t wait to make this meatloaf!

    This sounds delicious! When I make standard meatloaf I add oatmeal instead of bread crumbs – I love the flavor!

    Coconut fluor works too but use about half as much…
