Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and adjust rack to middle position (for 4 servings, use top and middle positions). Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into ½-inch diagonal pieces. Toss broccoli and zucchini on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread vegetables across entire sheet; line with foil for easier cleanup.)
2. In a medium bowl, gently combine ground turkey, garlic powder, panko, chicken stock concentrate, half the stir-fry sauce, 1 tablespoon water (2 tablespoons for 4 servings), salt and pepper. Shape into two 1-inch-thick loaves (four loaves for 4 servings).
3. Place meatloaves on the opposite side of the baking sheet from the vegetables. Brush tops with remaining stir-fry sauce. (For 4 servings, place meatloaves on a second baking sheet.) Roast on middle rack until meatloaves are cooked through and vegetables are browned and tender, 22-25 minutes. (For 4, roast vegetables on top rack and meatloaves on middle rack, swapping halfway through.)
4. While roasting, make the firecracker sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet Thai chili sauce, ponzu, 1 teaspoon water (2 teaspoons for 4 servings), salt and pepper. Divide meatloaves and vegetables between plates; drizzle meatloaves with as much firecracker sauce as desired. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.
