Thai Green Curry Turkey and Zucchini Meatloaf
After two months with no migraines, I’ve now had four this week. I don’t know what it’s about, but it’s really getting old! After the race last weekend, I decided I wanted to sign up for the GW Parkway 10-miler on Sunday. Sadly though, it’s sold out and I’ve had no luck with my attempts to get a bib on Craigslist. Funny how it just takes one race to give you the bug! So far, I’ve only crossed one race off my bucket list, but we’re signed up for the VT memorial race next weekend!
This meatloaf was quite enjoyable! Closet Cooking is where I get some of my favorite recipes. Kevin comes up with some super clever ideas, and totally speaks my language with his flavor combinations. This one was no exception! The spice is mild, but beware increasing the green curry too much or it will be too salty. I’m starting to think I just eat an unusual amount, because this definitely did not make eight servings! You might be able to get six with a hardy side dish, but I went ahead and divided it into four Jo-sized portions!
Thai Green Curry Turkey and Zucchini Meatloaf
Adapted from Closet Cooking
For the Meatloaf:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
- 2 cups zucchini, shredded and squeezed to drain excess liquid
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoon Thai green curry paste
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- zest of one lime
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Transfer to a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
For the Sauce:
- 1 tsp coconut oil (or oil of choice)
- 3 tablespoon Thai green curry paste (or to taste)
- 1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoon lime juice (~1 lime)
- 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare the sauce. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the curry paste and let it sizzle for a few minutes before adding the coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Slice the meatloaf and serve topped with green curry sauce!
Serves 4-6
