Bacon Mushroom Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf, grain-free and low carb.
Bacon Mushroom Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf is a grain-free, low carb meatloaf that is full of flavor, and stuffed with bacon mushroom goodness!
The low carb primal version has Swiss cheese in the middle as well, but for paleo dieters, the cheese can be left out.
My husband loved this, even though he is not a ground turkey fan at all. I suspect bacon is what changed his mind, lol. Bacon, the paleo, low carb magical ingredient.
This meatloaf has sautéed mushrooms and onions throughout the meat and is stuffed with bacon and optional Swiss cheese in the center. So darn good!

- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

- ⅓ cup minced onion * optional (not everybody likes onions)
- 3 cloves peeled minced garlic

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F (177 °C), and grease or oil a 9x4 standard size loaf pan. In a medium size skillet over medium high heat melt the 2 tablespoon butter. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms. Stir occasionally and heat for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir in, remove from stove top and let cool.

- Layer 3 slices of uncooked bacon on top of the meatloaf layer, as seen in photo above. Layer the optional cheese slices on top of the bacon, *seen in photo above.

Followed your recipe instructions, only substituted golden flax meal with bread crumbs.
Found the meatloaf watery and needed to drain and cook at a higher temperature for another 20 mins.
It was still very good.
Stacey says
Darcy, The flax meal absorbs much of any liquid. I can't have bread crumbs, so I can't try that substitution but I think you would a much larger amount than the flax meal.
Jodi says
Can you make this with beef or pork? I can't eat turkey.
Stacey says
Yes, Jodi, you can use ground beef.
