Steps:
- Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Let quinoa chill, 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch glass casserole pan with coconut oil.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Mix onion and garlic in a large bowl with turkey, cooked quinoa, aminos, syrup, Sriracha, tomato paste, mustard, salt, and pepper and stir until it turns into a runny paste. Pour mixture evenly in the prepared pan and top with ketchup.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn the oven off and let rest, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove, cut, and serve.

TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATLOAF
I always found turkey meatloaf to be quite disappointing. The flavor is usually lacking as well as the texture. Well, I have developed this version that has a great texture and a surprisingly good flavor (my brother couldn't even tell that it wasn't beef)! The secret is the quinoa, which adds wonderful texture and is much nuttier than breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
