Turkey Club Meatloaf




Served with a simple salad of lettuce and tomato, this makes a warm and filling recreation of the classic club sandwich.





1 lb. ground white meat turkey
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup matzo meal (or other safe crumb, finely ground)
¼ cup milk or yeast free chicken stock
1 large egg
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
10 slices bacon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, soak crumb in milk (or stock).
While crumb soaks up liquid, lay bacon on a large sheet of parchment, overlapping slices slightly to create a wrap for meatloaf.
Add turkey, cheese, egg, salt and pepper into softened crumbs and mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Place meatloaf mixture in the middle of the bacon wrap, forming a loaf.
Fold parchment around the loaf, carefully pressing bacon around the uncooked meatloaf to cover.
Once the parchment is securely wrapped around the loaf, turn over and cook on a baking pan for 30 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and increase the temperature to 425 degrees F.
Cut open the parchment carefully and then continue to bake for another 5-10 minutes until bacon is browned and meatloaf is cooked through.

Serves 2-4

  1. I’ve read that bacon because it’s cured is off limits for yeast allergies??? I would love to be able to eat bacon. I’m in my first week so I don’t know what I react to because I’m deeply miserable in pain and all kinds of reactions. Life long.

    1. I am extremely sensitive to any yeast presence but I have never had a reaction to bacon as long as it doesn't have yeast extract in it, and I eat it like it is going out of style.

  2. That would be amazing. I’m having to cut out so many foods I enjoy. Bacon is literally one of my favorite foods!

    1. If you ever have any question or need recommendations, I am around and am happy to help, since I've been doing a yeast-free diet for coming on 15 years now.

  3. Oh thank you so much. There isn’t as much on line as I thought that would be. Most of the yeast green is candida related.
