Add the finely chopped onions and chili peppers to a preheated non-stick pan with ½ tbsp of olive oil. Cook until golden brown. Carefully add the soy sauce and cook for a few more seconds, until there is no liquid left. Set aside and wait until they cool down before mixing them with the other ingredients.
In a large bowl, mix the minced turkey, eggs (whisked), almond butter, double tomato concentrate, vegetables, spices and fresh cream. Combine all the ingredients together using a spoon, then check the consistency of your meatloaf and start adding the almond flour in small portions. When you reach the right consistency, you should be able to form a nicely-shaped meatball with your hands.
Shape the 3 small meatloaves and place them into the baking trays or pans (use approx 1 tablespoon of olive oil to ensure the meatloaf doesn't stick to the bottom of your pan/tray).
Wrap each meatloaf with the slices of bacon and brush with a sauce made of 1 teaspoon of double tomato concentrate and 1 tablespoon of olive oil (mix them with a whisk or a fork until you get a smooth sauce).
Cook in a preheated oven at 180°C for approx. 45 minutes. Check a few times the internal temperature of the meatloaf: it needs to be at least 70°C (160 degrees F) to ensure the meat is properly cooked.
When the meatloaf is ready, remove the tray from the oven, wait a few minutes, then transfer the meat on a plate. Wait 15-20 minutes before cutting it into slices.

If you need to pay particular attention to the amount of salt in your food, go for a double tomato concentrate without adding salt and low-sodium soy sauce.
You can add some spices to the sauce used to brush the meatloaf. Paprika, black pepper or turmeric will work well. Dried oregano or marjoram are great options for a more Mediterranean-inspired dish.
You can always do 1 single large meatloaf instead of 3 small. The cooking time will be longer compared to the one written in the recipe; just be sure to always ensure the meat is well cooked.
If you want to test the flavor of the meatloaf before cooking it, you can take 1 teaspoon of the mixture and cook it in a pan; taste it and adjust the amount of spices according to your preferences.
Remove the seeds from the chili peppers if they are too spicy. You can add more than 1 chili pepper if you like.
