This turkey meatloaf has great texture and a surprisingly good flavor. The secret is the quinoa! A wonderful recipe for anyone wanting to eat gluten-free. Ingredients:
1/4 cup quinoa |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon grapeseed oil |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1/2 cup zucchini, shredded |
1/2 cup yellow pepper, diced |
1 lb ground turkey |
2 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste |
1 1/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1/2 cup ketchup |
Directions:
1. Bring the quinoa and 1/2 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute; remove from heat to cool.
4. Mix the turkey, cooked quinoa, onions, garlic, zucchini, yellow peppers, tomato paste, 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. The mixture will be very moist. Shape into a loaf on a foil lined baking sheet or place into a loaf pan. Combine the 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup of ketchup in a small bowl. Rub the ketchup mixture over the top of the meatloaf.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Bon Appétit!
