Fody's Low FODMAP Turkey & Vegetable Meatloaf

Directions for Fody's Low FODMAP Turkey & Veg Meatloaf

For the Sauce: Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together; set aside.

For the Meatloaf: Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Have a roasting pan ready.

Process the bread slices in a food processor fitted with a metal blade until finely ground. Measure out 3/4 cup (84 g) of soft breadcrumbs and combine the measured breadcrumbs with milk in a large mixing bowl; allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk for 5 minutes. (Any extra breadcrumbs can be frozen in a zip-top bag and saved for another use.)

Add ground turkey, eggs, carrot, red bell pepper, parsley, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, Fody Garlic or Shallot-Infused Olive Oil, Fody Steak Seasoning and ¼ teaspoon Fody Lemon Herb Seasoning to the bowl with the breadcrumbs and use your hands to mix well. Scrape meatloaf mixture into the center of the roasting pan and use your hands to form an oval loaf shape about 9 inches long, 6 inches wide and 2 inches thick (23 cm by 15 cm by 5 cm).

Spread about one-third of the sauce on top of the loaf, coating the top and part of the sides. Reserve any remaining sauce to serve alongside cooked meatloaf.

Cook for about 55 minutes to 1 hour or until turkey is cooked through; an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf should read 160°F (72°C). Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes. This low FODMAP meatloaf is ready to be cut into slices and served with the reserved sauce alongside. We like it hot, room temperature or the next day in a sandwich – one of the easiest low FODMAP ground turkey recipes for leftovers.

Any leftovers can be wrapped well with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

FAQs 

Is ground turkey low FODMAP?

Yes, ground turkey is naturally low FODMAP. Since FODMAPs are carbohydrates and turkey is purely protein and fat, it does not contain any fermentable sugars that trigger IBS symptoms. The only time ground turkey may not be low FODMAP is if it has added flavourings, fillers, or marinades containing garlic, onion, or other high FODMAP ingredients. Always check ingredient labels when buying pre-seasoned or processed turkey products. For safe cooking at home, stick to plain ground turkey and season it with Fody’s certified low FODMAP products, like garlic-infused olive oil or steak seasoning. This makes it an excellent protein for low FODMAP ground turkey recipes, including meatloaf, burgers, and stuffed peppers.
