TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATLOAF



Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf image

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!

Time 1h20m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup quinoa
½ cup water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Bring the quinoa and 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 an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat the olive 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.
  • Stir the turkey, cooked quinoa, onions, tomato paste, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, 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. Combine the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Rub the paste 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.

GLUTEN-FREE TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH OATS



Gluten-Free Turkey Meatloaf with Oats image

This is my take on a family favorite of Swedish meatballs but usually made only at the holidays. With this, it can be like that delicious taste, but any day you desire! This flavor resembles that of a beef and pork recipe somewhat and is ever so good!

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
2 teaspoons steak sauce (such as A1®)
1 teaspoon beef base
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 pound lean ground turkey sausage
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 packet stevia powder
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup gluten-free oats
1 cup water
1 (.87 ounce) package brown gravy mix
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 large bay leaf

Steps:

  • Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, and beef base. Set aside to cool a little.
  • Combine turkey, turkey sausage, eggs, allspice, parsley, and stevia in a large mixing bowl. Add oats and cooled onion mixture. Mix by hand until well combined and transfer to the prepared loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf and pour gravy over the meatloaf during the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking.
