• 1/3 cup quinoa, dry
• 1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 large onion, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Start by cooking the dry quinoa in 2/3 of a cup of water according to your package directions (or read this about how to prepare quinoa). If you already have some cooked up, use 1 cup of prepared quinoa in this recipe.
Chop up your onion. Put the ground turkey, the chopped onion, the tomato sauce, egg, olive oil and cooked quinoa into a large bowl. Add salt and pepper and mix everything really well. Form the mixture into a loaf, put it on a baking pan and bake it for 50 minutes to an hour at 400F.
