Ingredients

Meatloaf
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup barbecue sauce, any kind
1 egg
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
1 lb lean ground sirloin
Potatoes
1 garlic clove, unpeeled
olive oil
1 lb yukon gold potato, scrubbed
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

Meatloaf:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cook 2 minutes more and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ketchup, 1/4 cup bbq sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, pepper and the cooled onion mixture. Add the turkey and beef sirloin and mix until just combined.
Pack the mixture into a 9-inch loaf pan, brush the top with the remaining bbq sauce and bake covered for 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Potatoes:
Slice off top of garlic bulb and drizzle with olive oil. Place in aluminum foil or ovenproof dish in same preheated oven as the meatloaf for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until done, about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
In a small saucepan, bring the stock to a boil and turn down to a simmer.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl to release each clove of garlic. Throw the skins away and mash garlic with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and mash (with their skins on). Add the roasted garlic. Slowly add the stock until the desired consistency is reached.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
