DAIRY-FREE TURKEY-QUINOA MEATLOAF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let quinoa chill, 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch glass casserole pan with coconut oil.
• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Mix onion and garlic in a large bowl with turkey, cooked quinoa, aminos, syrup, Sriracha, tomato paste, mustard, salt, and pepper and stir until it turns into a runny paste. Pour mixture evenly in the prepared pan and top with ketchup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn the oven off and let rest, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove, cut, and serve.

TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATLOAF

• 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.
