Preparation

Heat the oven to 200 C / 400 F. Finely dice the onion and garlic. Peel the carrots and cut them into 2 cm pieces. Remove the seeds from the pepper and cut it and the courgette into 2 cm pieces.
Put the turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, mustard, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Use clean hands to mix only until evenly combined; overmixing makes the loaf firm.
Shape the mixture into a loaf about 22 cm long on a baking-paper-lined tray. Spread the vegetables alongside and toss them with the olive oil. After handling raw mince, wash hands, board and knife thoroughly with hot soapy water.
Bake for 35 minutes. Push a thermometer horizontally into the centre of the loaf without touching the tray. It is safely cooked when it reads at least 75 C / 165 F. If needed, bake for another 5 minutes and check again.
Let the loaf rest on the tray for 8 minutes. Slice and serve with the roasted vegetables.
