Ingredients




1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 cup cooked quinoa
500 grams ground turkey

2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

1 In a medium saucepan, combine the drained quinoa and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. 2 In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. 3 Add the cumin and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl. 4 Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Form a meat loaf. 5 Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and  bake for 45 minutes at 200°C, or until done. 6 Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before you slice it. Serve with potato salad.
