Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º F
Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce to med-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, 15-20 mins. Set aside to cool.
Heat the butter in a skillet over med heat. Stir in the vegetables, cook and stir until softened and turned translucent, about 5 mins. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, remove from heat to cool. Stir the turkey, cooked quinoa, onions, tomato paste, hot sauce, 2 Tbsps 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 tsp worcestershire, and 1 tsp 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 35-45 mins. Let the meatloaf cool for 10 mins before slicing and serving.

Personal Notes:
Both "the Johns" are definite red meat eaters. When I made this meatloaf, I got the look of "are you kidding me?" Needless to say, both loved it! Gluten free and only 170 calories per serving too.
