03 Method
  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Step 2
    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add bacon, onion, garlic, butternut squash, and thyme and cook until squash begins to soften 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl, combine turkey, panko, parmesan, parsley, and egg with a spatula. Fold in butternut-bacon mixture, mixing until smooth. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to center of the baking sheet and gently press into a football shape. Season meatloaf with salt and pepper.
  • Step 4
    In a small bowl, whisk together tomato paste, maple syrup, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture into two bowls.
  • Step 5
    Brush meatloaf with half of the maple glaze. Bake until cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees F.
  • Step 6
    Let rest 10 minutes, then cut into thick slices and serve with a green salad and slices of bread, if you like. Serve with remaining maple-tomato sauce.
