Time 1h20m

Yield 1 loaf, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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!
