Ground turkey gets its savory backbone from minced garlic, grated onion, and a generous mix of fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley, all bound together with egg and a splash of chicken broth for a moist, tender loaf. A vibrant beet glaze — brightened with apple cider vinegar and a touch of maple syrup — gets brushed on twice during baking, building a glossy, slightly tangy crust that caramelizes beautifully. Alongside, cubes of butternut squash roast until golden and fork-tender, making for a naturally sweet, earthy side that balances the herby richness of the meatloaf. Every component here is straightforward and wholesome, from the fresh herbs to the roasted vegetables, making this a comforting, cold-weather dinner that holds up well for leftovers. It's a hearty, well-rounded plate that fits neatly into a gluten free dinner rotation without sacrificing any of that classic, cozy meatloaf appeal.

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.
