Greek Meatloaf Recipe

October 15, 2012 by Katie Wells
Greek meatloaf recipe

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 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.

  • Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe can be doubled or tripled, just adjust cooking time as needed.
The yogurt dip also makes a great salad dressing.

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

    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!
