Steps:
- Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the onion and garlic in the olive oil for about 2 minutes, until the onion is softened. Add the carrot and cook, stirring, for 3 more minutes; add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushroom liquid is evaporated and they are very tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- Stir the bread crumbs, milk, and eggs together in a large bowl. Add the turkey, the tomato chili sauce, and the sautéed vegetables and mix until well blended. Shape into an oval loaf about 9 inches long and 3 inches high and place on the prepared baking sheet. Insert the oven probe and set to 170°F.
- Roast in the center of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until the probe indicates that the meat loaf is done or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 170°F.
- Meanwhile, make the Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Sauce, and serve it with slices of the meat loaf.
- Preheat the oven to convection roast at 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
- Cut off and discard the top quarter of the garlic head and wrap the head in foil. Arrange the tomatoes, cut sides up, on the baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Add the pepper, skin side up, and the garlic head to the pan. Roast the vegetables in the center or top third of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, until soft. Remove the pepper after 20 minutes and wrap it in foil. When the pepper is cooled, remove and discard the skin.
- Put the pepper and tomatoes into a food processor fitted with the steel blade or a blender. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add to the tomatoes and peppers along with the olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar. Puree the sauce until smooth.
