Prepare the potatoes & meatloaf
1 Prepare the potatoes & meatloaf

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high.  Line two sheet pans with foil. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds. Transfer to one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, weeknight hero spice blend, and half the breadcrumbs (you will have extra); season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Transfer to other side of the sheet pan. Shape the mixture into a tightly packed loaf, about 10 inches by 3 inches.

2 Bake the potatoes & meatloaf

Roast the prepared potatoes and meatloaf 20 to 22 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the meatloaf is cooked through.* Remove from the oven. Transfer the meatloaf to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, carefully slice into 8 equal-sized pieces. 

*An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F.
