Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

Tonight I made a turkey meatloaf with quinoa.  The quinoa was used as a replacement for the standard breadcrumbs you see in most meatloaf recipes.  It was a very easy recipe to prepare and quite delicious! Even my kids enjoyed it.  Check it out below:

1/4 cup quinoa cooked to directions

1 small onion, chopped

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1 20 oz package of extra lean ground turkey

1 Tbsp tomato paste

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)

1 egg

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 Tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)

1 tsp water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix quinoa up until pepper.  Shape into a loaf pan.  Combine brown sugar, Worcestershire, and water.  Spread on top meatloaf.  Bake for 50 minutes.  

Enjoy with a nice salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal!
