TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATLOAF
I always found turkey meatloaf to be quite disappointing. The flavor is usually lacking as well as the texture. Well, I have developed this version that has a great texture and a surprisingly good flavor (my brother couldn't even tell that it wasn't beef)! The secret is the quinoa, which adds wonderful texture and is much nuttier than breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

Steps:
- 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.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

BAKED TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH QUINOA
This easy recipe is a lighter take on an Italian comfort food favorite. We're bypassing the ground beef and skipping the spaghetti but still packing a whole lot of flavor into each spherical bite. Breadcrumbs soaked in milk help seal in the moisture, while baking the meatballs in a mini muffin pan helps them brown evenly (but a baking pan works well, too!).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Generously coat a nonstick mini muffin pan or baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the milk and breadcrumbs. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa according to package directions.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, garlic, parsley, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the soaked breadcrumb mixture. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the mixture and then shape it into balls using 2 to 3 tablespoons of meat per meatball.
- Arrange the meatballs in the muffin pan or in a single layer in the prepared baking pan. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- When ready to serve, divide the quinoa among plates, then place the meatballs on top. Spoon the warm marinara sauce over the meatballs and garnish with Parmesan.
