We are an ingredient household and also trying to consume the whole-foods way of life. That means there aren’t usually snacks lying around the kitchen or quick lunches. Trying to find a high-protein way of having a fast lunch isn’t easy. I love bread when I bake it. I am not eating keto bread, which is usually a slurry of gums, binders, and often cheap seed oils.
So, meat bread? Yes. It isn’t meatloaf. It is sliceable and has the texture of bread. It is well worth trying!
I found it so delicious. Finally, a snack or lunch that will fill my stomach but not keep me from my low-carb desires. And it is whole ingredients.
If you don’t have a high-speed blender, use a food processor.
I recommend using a disposable pan to bake it, as you can flex the sides for easy removal.
High Protein Meat Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey or chicken breast
- 5 large eggs
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp granulated onion
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly oil an 8″x 4″ disposable loaf pan with olive oil and set it on a baking sheet.
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Add the turkey or chicken breast, and cook until done, breaking up and stirring often.
Set aside to cool a bit.
Crack the eggs in a bowl, add the onion and salt, then the parmesan cheese.
Add the cooked meat to a high-speed blender (or food processor), and using the tamper (if your blender has one, or stop and scrape the container), break up the meat a bit on low. Add the egg mixture and turn it up, processing until smooth.
Add in the cheese and stir in with a spatula.
Scrape into the pan and smooth out.
Bake for 45 minutes, until golden on top. Insert a thin butter knife to check if it is done (it should come out dry). Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Flex the sides of the pan and use a thin spatula to work loose. Turn out onto a cooling rack.
Enjoy warm, and promptly store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Makes 8 slices.
