There’s quinoa in my meatloaf! I made this turkey quinoa meatloaf recipe long ago, based off of my regular turkey meatloaf recipe. Variations of recipes I love are always fun… when they work out!

Adding quinoa to meatloaf was originally completely experimental. I didn’t know how it would turn out but it was a nice experiment that I want to try again soon.

I love ketchup on my meatloaf. ;)

Turkey & Quinoa Meatloaf

Turkey Quinoa Meatloaf Ingredients:

• 2 packages lean ground turkey (99% fat free)
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 6 egg whites
• 2 cups chopped spinach
• 1/2 onions
• 1 cup mixed bell peppers
• 1 cup salsa

Turkey Quinoa Meatloaf Directions:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Add to baking dish.
• Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes (check your oven for exact times, mine is finicky).
• Remove, cool, cut into squares.

I loved this resulting “meatloaf” even though it was most packed with veggies and quinoa/oatmeal. Packed with protein too! It can be a little bit wet but I love that in my meatloaf personally. If you don’t then you can add some ingredients to soak up some of the extra moisture.

If you can’t tell, I really love turkey meatloaf. I also love putting veggies into my meatloaf. It’s like creating a whole meal with meat and veggies in one with this dish!
