Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 strips smoked turkey bacon
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and chop fresh parsley. Grate the plant-based Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated. Ensure the ground chicken is ready and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Combine the Meatloaf Mixture: In a large bowl, gently mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, plant-based Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, egg, plant-based milk, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
  3. Shape and Wrap: Transfer the mixture to a lined loaf pan or baking sheet and shape into a traditional loaf. Wrap the smoked turkey bacon strips evenly around the loaf, overlapping slightly to cover the outside completely.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The bacon should become golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for maximum flavor and aroma.
  • Mix gently to prevent a dense meatloaf texture.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest after baking to keep it juicy and prevent crumbling.
  • Opt for thin smoked turkey bacon strips for crispier texture and easier wrapping.
