Ingredients
-
½ cup water
-
¼ cup quinoa
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
1 large clove garlic, chopped
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1 teaspoon water
-
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
-
1 egg
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
-
1 ½ teaspoons salt
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Bring 1/2 cup water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
-
Mix brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon water together in a small bowl until a paste forms.
-
Mix turkey, cooked quinoa, onion mixture, egg, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, hot sauce, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined; the mixture will be very moist. Shape into a loaf and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread brown sugar paste over the top.
-
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 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
