Turkey And Quinoa Meatloaf Recipes

DAIRY-FREE TURKEY-QUINOA MEATLOAF CASSEROLE

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 & QUINOA MEATLOAF

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!
