¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground turmeric

For the meatloaf

1 lb ground turkey
½ cup rolled oats
1 large egg
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
¼ cup milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried thyme
¾ tsp salt

For the glaze

⅓ cup roasted beet purée (from 1 small roasted beet, peeled and blended smooth)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
¼ tsp ground ginger

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp turmeric on a rimmed baking sheet until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer and roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and the cubes are tender when pierced with a fork.
2
While the squash roasts, make the glaze. Combine the beet purée, apple cider vinegar, honey, and ground ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and set aside.
