From the Test Kitchen

To elevate this savory turkey meatloaf, we’re topping it with a delicious, buttery pan sauce made with garlic, capers, and fresh tomatoes, which we crush with a spoon as they cook to release their sweet natural juices. For a hearty accompaniment, we’re roasting the meatloaf alongside broccoli and onion coated with a bit of romano cheese for extra richness.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Lightly oil a sheet pan. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges, separating the layers.
