Balsamic Rosemary Turkey Meatloaves
with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Green Beans Amandine
- Wheat
- Tree Nuts
- Milk
Finding yourself in a meatloaf rut? Enter: this super-savory, aromatic version. We start with ground turkey for a lighter feel, then blend in onion, garlic, fresh rosemary, and panko breadcrumbs. Next, we form the mixture into mini loaves so everyone gets their own. The pièce de résistance? We infuse the usual ketchup glaze with balsamic vinegar for rich tang and caramelization. Add sides of mashed potatoes and almond-studded green beans, and your routine meat-and-potatoes dinner doesn’t stand a chance.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (middle and top positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve and peel onion; grate one half on the largest holes of a box grater (grate all the onion for 4). Transfer to a large bowl. Peel and mince or grate half the garlic (keep remaining garlic whole). Strip rosemary leaves from stems; finely chop leaves until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4). Trim green beans if necessary.
• To bowl with grated onion, add turkey*, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, panko, stock concentrate, and ¾ tsp salt. Season with pepper, then mix to combine. Form into two 1-inch-tall loaves (for 4 servings, use 1½ tsp salt and form into four loaves). TIP: Wet hands first to prevent turkey mixture from sticking while shaping. • Place on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. (For 4, spread meatloaves out across entire sheet.)
• In a small bowl, combine ketchup with 2 tsp vinegar (4 tsp for 4 servings), then brush onto tops of meatloaves. (Use the rest of the vinegar as you like.) • Bake on top rack for 15 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then). (For 4, bake on middle rack.)
• Meanwhile, place potatoes and whole garlic in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until very tender, 12-15 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes and garlic to pot. • Mash with sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Once meatloaves have baked 15 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (TIP: We recommend using tongs here.) (For 4 servings, leave meatloaves in oven and add green beans to a second sheet; roast on top rack.) • Return to top rack until meatloaves are cooked through and green beans are lightly browned, 10-12 minutes more.
• Sprinkle roasted green beans with almonds; toss to combine. • Divide meatloaves, green beans amandine, and garlic mashed potatoes between plates and serve.

Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the balsamic glaze and rosemary, though some found the rosemary overpowering; adjust to taste.
- Ease of prep: Grating the onion was tricky for some; consider mincing instead for easier preparation.
- Suggestions: Try reducing cooking time or temperature to prevent dryness; consider adding an egg for moisture.
- Leftovers: Individual portions were convenient; some found they could stretch the recipe into extra servings.
- Sides: Green beans with almonds were a hit; garlic mashed potatoes needed more flavor for some.
Reviews from our home cooks
This one was just ok. The green beans amandine were quite good - I would love to have that as a side with more of your recipes. The timing of this one felt off - I would have started cooking the potatoes in step one, as they did not have enough time to cook and turned out lumpy (though they tasted good). The meatloaves were a bit dry and the rosemary was overpowering; I like rosemary, but would have appreciated a bit more subtlety. I only used a quarter of the onion rather than a half because I don't like onions - maybe adding more of that would have helped balance things out.
Husband said this was the best meatloaf and I have to agree, the rosemary in the meatloaf was a winner, I love rosemary, and the topping of ketchup and vinegar was amazing. All the flavours in the meatloaf made the recipe a 5 star, never made meatloaf with ground turkey but this was a winner. Will order this meal again.
The turkey meatloaf was so tasty! I did not put as much rosemary in as the recipe suggested and I think it was plenty. We could taste it, but it wasn't overpowering. I also did my loaf in the microwave for 15 est. min. and used my Ninja for the beans. I would get this again!
Great combination. The balsamic rosemary dressing on the turkey gave it zest! Green beans were fresh and the almond slivers set them off perfectly. Another winner by "Hello Fresh"!
This was one of my all-time favorites. The meatloaf was divine and the garlic in the mashed potatoes made them perfect. I liked the addition of almonds to the green beans as well!
I used half the ketchup (not my fave) but the balsamic was great. Also added chopped mushrooms and some onion to the meatloaves and got 3 portions. I blanched the green beans (personal preference), added mushrooms, and used butter-flavored popcorn seasoning to cut the fat intake. Good stuff!
Rosemary was a bit overpowering - I'd recommend cutting that down - half even in the recipe - you can always add more. I didn't use all that was provided either and definitely no more than the 2 tsp for 4 loaves recommended. The Garlic Clove in the potatoes? Hello, I'll do that more often. Also, the next time I need BBQ sauce and am out - Ketchup + Balsamic Vinegar will be a thing!
This was very good, just a little too sweet. I'd cut back on the balsamic vinegar in the future. Also, it was a little dry. Would adding an egg boost moisture in the meatloaf mix? The potatoes were delicious and the green beans were just green beans. I'd rather have carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, anything with a little more nutritional value.
The ground turkey was so finely ground as to be mush, and so the loaves were way too firm/dense because the meat was just glop. Flavors were good, though. Needed far, far more garlic in the mashed potatoes. We only got 2 tiny cloves for a 4-person meal.
So good! Loved this and would make it every week. I love ground turkey options. The rosemary flavor is delicious. The garlic wasn't in my box, but I had some at home that I was able to use.
