Ingredients
1/4 Cup dry Quinoa1/2 C. water1 tsp Olive Oil1/3 C. Onion, chopped1 large Garlic clove, chopped1 pckg Ground turkey (approx 2C.)1 tbsp. Tomato Paste1 tbsp. Hot pepper sauce (Like Franks)2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce1 egg1 1/2 tsp Salt1 tsp Pepper-------------Glaze:2 tbsp. Brown sugar2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce1 tsp. Wateer
Directions
1.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 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2.Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F
3.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.
4.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. OR spray a bread pan/muffin pan and pat down into desired pan. Combine the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Rub the paste over the top of the meatloaf.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes for a loaf. 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.

Serving Size: 4 servings. Or 12 if made into muffins.
