Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

1/4 cup quinoa
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Topping
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon water

  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 15 minutes.
  2. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  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.
  5. Combine the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl.  Rub the paste over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven about 50 minutes.  A thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees.  Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
