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!
TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATLOAF
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!

- Be sure to season the meat mixture well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
- To keep the meatloaf moist, use a mixture of bread crumbs and eggs as a binder. You can also add some milk or broth to the mixture.
- Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until it is cooked through. You can test this by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of the meatloaf. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep it from falling apart.
