From Everyday Food

*olive oil
*small onion, diced
*2 garlic cloves, minced
*1 1/2 cups butternut squash, peeked and diced
*3 oz. bacon, diced
*2 tsp fresh sage, chopped
*1 tsp red pepper flakes
*1 lb. ground turkey
*1 cup grated Parmesan
*2 slices sandwich bread, diced
*1 large egg

Preheat oven to 350.

Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion, garlic, squash bacon and cook, stirring until onion begins to brown and vegetables soften, 5 minutes. Add sage and red pepper, season with salt and pepper and cook, one minute.

In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread, egg and turkey. Add vegetable mixture and season with 2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix until ingredients are combined. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and form a loaf. Bake until meatloaf is cooked through, 40 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
