Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with avocado oil or olive oil.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely diced onion in a teaspoon of oil until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, almond flour, sauteed onion and garlic mixture, grated carrot, tomato paste, coconut aminos, dried parsley, smoked paprika, ground mustard, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly but do not overwork the meat mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and gently press it down to create an even surface.
Spread the Whole30-compliant ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Resting helps retain juices and makes slicing easier.
Serve warm with your choice of Whole30-compliant side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed cauliflower.
