This Greek inspired meatloaf reminds me of the Gyro meat I often ate during my time in Europe. It uses flavors such as 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 a salad with fennel greens for a full Greek inspired meal. Now to eventually actually make it to Greece one day!

Meatloaf:

1 lb ground turkey
1 large onion grated
¼ cup almond flour
1 TBSP fennel greens finely chopped
1 TBSP fennel bulb finely chopped
2 eggs
1 TBSP lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
¼ tsp fresh mint minced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

1 cup Greek yogurt
1 TBSP garlic minced
pinch of salt
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cucumber finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the meatloaf. Add extra almond flour if needed to make it thick enough to form into meat balls.
Form into a loaf shape and place in a loaf pan or in the middle of a baking dish with a rim around the sides.
Place in the preheated oven for approximately 45-60 minutes or until cooked through.
While cooking, mix together the ingredients for the yogurt sauce.
Serve the meatloaf with the yogurt sauce and a salad on the side.
Enjoy!
