The Lam-urkey loaf






Found this recipe randomly....it was originally a greek style Lamb meatloaf, but I modified a few things to make it paleo and left out the tzatziki sauce. Serve with a fresh salad. It was very yummy!

Ingredients
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 can artichoke hearts, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp. pepper
3 dashes of dried basil
3 dashes of turmeric
2-3 dashes red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup milk (I used coconut milk)
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup almond meal 
1 lbs. ground lamb 
1 lb. lean ground turkey
2 egg. slightly beaten

Directions 
In large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add celery and garlic and cook until celery is soft. Stir in the artichokes, pepper, basil, and cinnamon.
Stir in milk and tomato paste. Remove from heat and let cool. In large bowl, combine the vegetable mixture and almond meal with the lamb and turkey and egg.
Place in a large loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Drain any juices. Let rest another 10-15 minutes before slicing.
