1mediumzucchini, shredded and squeezed to remove some of the moisture (about 1 cup)
2largeegg whites
1smallred onion, finely chopped (I used ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion)
1tablespoonfresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1teaspoondried Italian seasoning
½cupchili sauce or ketchup, divided
½teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonground black pepper
1poundground skinless turkey breast
Instructions
Cook the quinoa according to the package directions. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, line the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan with foil. Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Add the egg whites, onion, parsley, Italian seasoning, ¼ cup chili sauce, salt and pepper. Add the turkey and quinoa and mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking pan. Shape it into a 5 x 11-inch rectangle loaf. Brush the remaining ¼ cup chili sauce evenly over the loaf.
Bake until an instant read thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf reads 165F degrees, about 50 to 55 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let rest at least 5 minutes so it's easier to cut. Cut into 6 even pieces.
Recipe Notes
Quinoa grows with a bitter protective coating called saponin. Be sure to give it a good rinse in a fine mesh sieve before cooking it, unless yours says it's pre-washed.Chili sauce is a condiment made with chili peppers and tomato. You can usually find it in the grocery store near the ketchup, or just substitute ketchup instead.Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.4*SmartPoints (Green plan)2*SmartPoints (Blue plan)1*SmartPoints (Purple plan)5*PointsPlus (Old plan)
