Quinoa Meatloaf Recipes

This is my favorite meatloaf recipe ever! The Quinoa adds extra protein and vitamins. To me the Raisins are an absolute must!

compared to original recipe by SparkPeople user DREWJSPH02: I used all ground turkey rather than part turkey, part beef though I don't disagree with the idea the beef would add a nice flavor; I omitted salt, reduced Worcestershire sauce by half; added seasonings (prepare according to personal taste); I also like to add a bit of hot sauce on top when serving, but that often adds more sodium -- the seasonings noted here do help eliminate the need for additional flavorings

"You can make this lean and delicious recipe with your choice of ground turkey or chicken. The mix can also be baked in meatball form: Simply roll it into 30 meatballs and bake 20 to 25 minutes, turning the meatballs once."

My mom's meatloaf always called for 1lb of ground beef, 1 egg, 1 sleeve of saltines, and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup... delicious, but not exactly healthy! This recipe is my healthy take on "Mom's Meatloaf".

healthy and delicious!

Adapted from 'Braised Savoy Cabbage Rolls Recipe' in Relish magazine. The rolls were wonderful: dear hubby said I could make them every day... but they were too time-consuming and fussy. We had extra fillings so added more and made a meatloaf that friends rave about to this day. The madeira-braised onions really makes this a standout for flavor, and a company-quality recipe.

This was an experiment gone wrong, that turned out really nicely. I had intended to use 1/2 cup of the quinoa, but the whole batch I had cooked fell in with the turkey, so I went with it. The kids LOVED finding quinoa in their meatloaf muffins, the texture mimics ground turkey so you barely notice it is in there.

Yummy Juicy meatloaf!

I modified a recipe from Drew that I found on Allrecipes.com to calculate calorie content.
The original recipe had tomato paste and hot pepper sauce, both of which I omitted, since I did not have them on hand.

This is an eclectic recipe, one I made up after reading a lot of recipes. Including quinoa was something I hadn't considered at first, but I cooked some up tonight for tomorrow's batch :) I love quinoa!

This recipe is designed to be quick and easy, but also portion controlled. I used lean meat and quinoa to make you full and pack a high protein punch!

Rich in protein with the meat and quinoa combination.

I love meatloaf! So I decided to recycle an old, but good family recipe! Much healthier, and just as tasty as before!

Onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, tabasco

Nice way to work quinoa into your diet. You can leave off the barbeque sauce if you wish to have less sugar and sodium.
