Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

 I always located turkey meatloaf to be fairly frustrating. The flavor is normally lacking along with the texture. Well, I have actually created this version that has an excellent texture as well as a remarkably excellent flavor (my brother could not also inform that it had not been beef)! The key is the quinoa, which adds fantastic structure and also is much nuttier than breadcrumbs. I wish you enjoy this dish!

 
Ingredients
1/2 mug water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small red onion, sliced
1 big clove garlic, sliced
1 (20 ounce) plan ground turkey
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon very hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 1/2 tsps salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tbsps brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Bring the quinoa as well as water to a boil in a pan over high heat. Minimize heat to medium-low, cover, and also simmer up until the quinoa hurts, as well as the water has actually been taken in, about 15 to 20 mins. Allot to cool down.
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Warmth the olive oil in a frying pan over tool warmth. Stir in the onion; chef and also mix until the red onion has relaxed and also turned clear, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and also chef for an additional minute; get rid of from warmth to cool down.
Mix the turkey, prepared quinoa, onions, tomato paste, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, egg, salt, and also pepper in a huge bowl up until well combined. The mix will be really moist. Shape right into a loaf on a foil lined baking sheet. Combine the brownish sugar, 2 tsps Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon water in a tiny bowl. Massage the paste over the top of the meatloaf.
Cook in the preheated oven up until no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at the very least 160 degrees F (70 levels C). Allow the meatloaf cool for 10 mins prior to slicing and serving.
