Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small zucchini, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, smashed to a paste with coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (90 percent lean)
1 cup panko (coarse Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, bell peppers, garlic paste and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are almost soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Whisk the egg and fresh herbs in a large bowl. Add the turkey, panko, grated cheese, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and the cooled vegetables; mix until just combined.

Gently press the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl; brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Bobby Flay, Balsamic Meatloaf, Fabulous
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a super recipe! Friends dropped in just as I took the meatloaf from the oven, not sure it even had time to cool... before half of it disappeared! It froze well & had super flavor, just the way Bobby made it. Thanks Bobby & Food Network.Read more

Great stuff... but changed a few things.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this but I used ground beef and ground pork. I also added carrots and unions. I added brown sugar to the glaze and it... was awesome. I'm going to make this again and again.Read more

My family hates meatloaf!!! I was determined to find a recipe that they would like. I found it, finally!!! I took one of the... others reviewers suggestions and added two TBLS of honey and brown sugar to the sauce that goes on top. it was great, and we polished off the whole loaf in one sitting!Read more
