Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed well
- 1 medium zucchini, shredded and squeezed to remove some of the moisture (about 1 cup)
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped (I used 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup chili sauce or ketchup, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground 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, 1/4 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 1/4 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.

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.
