Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground turkey, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 large egg, 1 small finely diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup milk. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, mixing gently until just combined.
  2. Step 2: Transfer mixture to a parchment-lined loaf pan or shape into a loaf on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard and 3 tbsp honey. Brush this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  4. Step 4: Toss 4 medium peeled and cut carrots and 12 oz trimmed green beans with 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme if using, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the vegetables around the meatloaf on the baking sheet.
  6. Step 6: Roast the meatloaf and vegetables in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, brushing the glaze again halfway through, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender.
  7. Step 7: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted carrots and green beans.
