This meatloaf is a gluten-free take on the original version.

Being gluten-free can have some drawbacks when you cannot enjoy some of your favorite foods. Luckily, you can tailor recipes to fit your needs and still have them taste great. This particular recipe is one that is gluten and dairy-free.

This meatloaf is also a paleo-friendly recipe since it has no added sugar, dairy, or grains.

Almond or another gluten-free flour is often a substitute for wheat flour in meatloaf recipes. In this recipe, I did not feel the need for flour so skipped it altogether. I have found it still creates a juicy and mouth-watering loaf.

My favorite brand of meat to use is Butcher Box’s ground turkey since it is convenient and delivered right to your door. If you want to use beef that works too but I would recommend using a grass-fed variety that is free of hormones and additives.
