Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf - 19g Carbs, 1.4g Fiber
[Suggestions: Since this is much too high in sodium... consider
leaving the "1 1/2 tsp salt" out and use no salt added tomato paste.
Also, consider leaving out the "2 Tbsp brown sugar" or use a suitable substitute if you wish to add something "sweet" to this.
Take care, Gloria]

"The secret ingredient in this flavorful turkey meatloaf is quinoa.
Quinoa is nuttier than breadcrumbs and improves the texture of the
meatloaf."
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 50 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour 20 Minutes
Servings: 4
1/4 cup quinoa
1/2 cup water
1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1 (20oz pkg) ground turkey
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp 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 to 20 minutes.
Set aside to cool.
2. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
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. 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. 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.
