Turkey Meatloaf with a Kick

I made a version of the 21 Day Fix Extreme Turkey Meatloaf recipe yesterday when I was meal prepping for the week. I had given turkey meatloaf a shot a few years ago and it was a major fail, so I was skeptical at best that this would come out remotely edible. To my surprise it was delicious!

Mixed!

Ingredients (makes 8 servings):

2 lbs raw 93% lean ground turkey

1 cup all natural medium salsa

1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa cooled

1 tbsp garlic powder

2 large eggs beaten

1 tsp sea salt

2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper to taste for a little kick for my spicy food lovers like me :)

Finished product (half of the loaf)

Directions:

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F

- Mix turkey, salsa, quinoa, garlic powder, eggs, sea salt, black pepper and cayenne in a large bowl

- Shape mixture into a loaf in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan or other loaf pan

- Bake for 75 minutes, or until meat is cooked thoroughly 

- Let stand for 15 minutes before serving or portion and freeze in single plastic bags for future meals

There is no real way to make meatloaf "pretty" but I included the photos anyways. ;)

ENJOY!
