Ground Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
source (google.com.pk)Making meatloaf is as subjective as building burgers. Some people insist on using breadcrumbs; to others, it's sacrilege. Some people like to mix ground beef, pork, and veal, others swear by 100% ground beef. But today, let's put all that aside and talk turkey.
Turkey makes for a leaner and healthier version of classic meatloaf, with just as much comfort and taste as the original. There are endless versions of glazes and fillings, but this one is a basic, no-fail turkey meatloaf recipe that delivers an easy weeknight dinner in no time—especially when paired up with meatloaf's favorite sidekick,
Ingredients
Serves: 5
4 tablespoons quinoa
125ml water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
570g minced turkey
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown soft sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon water

Bring the quinoa and water to the 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 180 C / Gas 4.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan 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 puree, 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 tray. Combine the dark brown soft 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 centre, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read at least 70 degrees C. Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
