Description

Ingredients

• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1 lb ground turkey (or chicken)
• 1 cup small diced butternut squash
• ½ large apple diced (about ¾ cup)
• 2 large slices of bacon
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• leaves from a few sprigs of thyme (about 1 Tbsp)
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper (optional - AIP omit)
• (optional: 1 Tbsp maple syrup)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Melt the coconut oil and use it to grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
• Cook the bacon in the microwave or oven until it’s crispy, but not burned. Set it aside until cool enough to handle, then chop into small pieces the size of bacon bits.
• Meanwhile, measure out all the other ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the bacon, and mix with your hands until the spices are well distributed.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and use your hands to flatten it out, so it’s spread evely throughout the pan.
• Pop the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until fully cooked through.
