Gluten Free Turkey Meatloaf Cupcakes

{Ingredients}

1 cup of carrots 

6-10 mushrooms of choice 

1 medium zucchini 

1/2 onion 

4 big cauliflower florets

(These veggies can be replaced with so much! I always try to pack at least 4 in and use what I have) 

1LB of lean ground turkey

Sea Salt/pepper/cumin/ thyme/rosemary/celery salt/garlic 

Normally I replace the egg in traditional meatloaf recipes with salsa, but since I'm nursing and my bebe doesn't do so well after I eat anything tomato or acidic I changed it up! 

So here is what I did:

After cutting excess junk off of the veggies I roughly chopped and tossed them all into a food processor until they are evenly minced I took a paper towel to blot up any extra water in the mixture so it doesn't water the cupcakes down. 

(If you do not have a food processor don't worry! Use can use a ninja or a blender too, or what I do too is just chop and minced everything by hand. It doesn't have to be finely cut either! We've done them where there's chunky veggies and it's delish too) 

Mix the veggie purée and the ground turkey together, season and ball into a greased cupcake pan and bake at 400• for 25 minutes. 

Top with homemade mash potatoes! A lower carb option would be cauliflower mash! Something I'm trying next time! 

These are veggie packed and toddler approved!

{EASY} Gluten free beef stroganoff 

1 pound organic cubed sirloin 

4 cups beef broth (I use Pacific Brand) 

1 cup of water 

3 celery stalks (sliced)

1 white onion (Julienne sliced)

Pint of mushrooms (Julienne sliced) 

Salt 

Pepper

Fresh minced garlic  

Thyme 

2 Tbs Gluten free flour 

1lb GF egg noodles of choice 

Throw meat, broth, water, seasoning, onions and mushrooms in crockpot. Cook in crockpot for 4 hrs on high. 

About 15 minutes before done cook noodles and cook until al dente.

After 4 hours take a strainer and sift out as many onions as possible w/ a little juice and blend them together in blender until smooth. Then whisk in flour. Take noodles and stir into crockpot, season to taste.

Seriously tasty. Seriously simple! 

You could easily add bean sprouts, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots very easily  and serve over rice instead as a yummy dish twist!
