Turkey Meatloaf With Quinoa
Print This Post
Give this simple turkey meatloaf with quinoa a try. It is absolutely delicious and much better for you than a traditional meatloaf. The quinoa gives it some great texture and greatly improves the turkey. Tastes just like regular meatloaf to me.
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1/3 cup quinoa, dry
- 1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 large onion, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Start by cooking the dry quinoa in 2/3 of a cup of water according to your package directions (or read this about how to prepare quinoa). If you already have some cooked up, use 1 cup of prepared quinoa in this recipe.
Chop up your onion. Put the ground turkey, the chopped onion, the tomato sauce, egg, olive oil and cooked quinoa into a large bowl. Add salt and pepper and mix everything really well. Form the mixture into a loaf, put it on a baking pan and bake it for 50 minutes to an hour at 400F.
Ready for more quinoa tips and recipes, I recommend you get a copy of this ebook to learn more. It’s called “The Complete Guide to Cooking With Quinoa“.
It’s packed full of delicious recipes for anything from soups and stews to salads, stir fries and even dessert.

I tried this recipe today. It was very tasty and I will make it again. However, it needed more binder. When I was trying to form it into a loaf, it wouldn’t stay together. Didn’t look great, but tasted good. Not sure what to try next time to make it sturdier.
I would try quinoa flakes or instant potato (just enough to hold together) or maybe a small amount of rice flour (start with 1 tablespoon).
I think if you add 1/4 cup sour cream it will help to hold it together. Worked for me.
