Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup water
½ cup quinoa, rinsed well
1 medium zucchini
1 teaspoon olive oil
¾ cup sambal oelek (Indonesian chile sauce), divided
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 large egg whites
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground skinless turkey breast
3 tablespoons stone-ground mustard

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Shred the zucchini using a cheese grater over a lint-free kitchen towel. Wrap the zucchini in the towel and wring out as much water as possible.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and swab with olive oil.
  • Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup chile sauce, red onion, egg whites, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add quinoa and turkey; mix well to combine. Divide mixture into 6 parts and shape into small loaves. Space them evenly on the baking sheet.
  • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup chile sauce with mustard. Spread a heaping spoonful over each loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meatloaves are hot on the inside and sauce has darkened in color, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest, at least 5 minutes.
