This hearty meatloaf gets its savory backbone from ground turkey mixed with fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley, plus grated onion and garlic for depth in every bite. Rolled oats soaked in chicken broth keep the loaf moist and tender without weighing it down, and a sweet-tangy beet glaze — built from roasted beet purée, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup — caramelizes into a glossy, deep-red top as it bakes. Alongside, cubes of butternut squash roast until golden and fork-tender, making for an earthy, slightly sweet side that plays perfectly against the herby meatloaf. It's a comforting, from-scratch dinner with layered flavor in every component, from the fragrant herb-flecked base to that vibrant glaze. Simple pantry staples and fresh produce do all the work here, no processed shortcuts required. This one slots easily into a dairy free dinner rotation, and it reheats beautifully for leftovers the next day.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and a fork slides in without resistance. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the squash roasts, make the glaze: combine the beet purée, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and set aside.
