Ingredients
Pantry
½ cup Breadcrumbs (optional)
6 Red Potatoes
Fridge and Freezer
1 lb Ground Turkey, thawed
1 head Broccoli
¼ cup Milk
¼ cup BBQ Sauce
¼ cup Catsup
1 tbs minced Garlic
¼ cup Butter
Directions
Wash hands with soap and water. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Wash the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Fill a large pot of water ¾ full of salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Grease a large baking sheet.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water. Cook for 17 to 19 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs (optional), and 2 tbs each of BBQ sauce and catsup (always wash hands before and after handling raw meat). Combine the meat into a flat loaf, about 1” thick and place in the center of the prepared baking sheet.
Place the broccoli in a bowl, toss with a little oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli around the meatloaf.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tbs each of BBQ sauce and catsup. Top the meatloaf with the sauce. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork and the meatloaf is cooked through.
While the meatloaf is baking, drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return to the pot. Add ¼ cup butter. Using a fork or potato masher, mash, adding a little milk to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve the sliced meatloaf with the mashed potatoes and broccoli. Makes 4 servings. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
