• Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drain liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Combine 2/3 of the garlic, the rosemary, pepper flakes, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Add the milk and mix. Add the turkey and sausage and mix once more to combine; don't overmix. Transfer onto a board and shape into a fine meatloaf, about 9 inches long and 4 inches wide.
• Place in a baking pan with high sides (a 9 x12 pan with 2-inch sides works well), drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bake for 25 minutes, turning halfway through to brown evenly. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 325 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, fry the bacon in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until it starts to curl and its fat is rendered. Add the onions and remaining garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and wine and bring to a boil.
• Pour the sauce over the meatloaf, cover tightly with foil and bake until a meat thermometer inserted at the center reads 150 degrees, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer the meatloaf to a platter and let stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 20 minutes; its internal temperature will rise to 160 to 165. Cut into thick slices, spoon tomato sauce over the top and scatter with torn mint leaves.

• Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.

• Use your hands to mix the simple meatloaf mixture very well. Since this is raw meat you might wish to use disposable food prep gloves for this.
• Spray a bread loaf pan with cooking spray and press the meatloaf mixture into the loaf pan, press down well to shape. Only use the bread loaf pan as a mold but not for baking.
• Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet. Carefully turn loaf pan upside down onto the parchment lined baking sheet to remove meatloaf. Finish shaping the meat loaf by hand. This step will prevent a soggy meatloaf since it will be baked on the baking sheet.
• Mix the meatloaf glaze ingredients,( ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar) in a small bowl. Combine well.
• Pour a little over half of the glaze mixture on the entire meatloaf saving the rest for later. Spread with the back of a spoon until its evenly dispersed. Place in preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes until juices run clear and the center temperature is 160 degrees F.
• During the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the remaining glaze mixture on the top of the meatloaf. Remove from oven and slice to serve.
