Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange oven racks to accommodate two dishes being cooked simultaneously.
- Grind the bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a large bowl, and pour milk over crumbs.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, and stir until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to bowl with soaked crumbs. Add the turkey, cheese, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Combine the mixture with your hands until well mixed; it will be quite wet.
- Pack 1 cup of the mixture into a 1-cup dry measuring cup. Invert the cup onto a rimmed baking sheet, gently shaking the cup to release the mixture. Gently pat the mound to smooth its shape. Repeat three times with remaining mixture. Bake mini meatloaves until cooked through and golden, about 40 minutes.
- While the meatloaves are cooking, make the glaze: In a small bowl combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Brush over meatloaves.
- To make the roasted root vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss all the vegetables in the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Add to the oven along with the meatloaves and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring midway through baking. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
ROASTED ROOT VEGGIES
Baking root vegetables in the oven instead of steaming them in the microwave makes them especially tender. Plus, they give my house a wonderful aroma.-Rebecca Dornfeld, Grass Lake, Michigan

THANKSGIVING ROASTED ROOT VEGGIES
This simple recipe for roasted vegetables came to The Times from Dr. Andrew Weil, the popular alternative health physician. It's ridiculously easy, and so versatile. Choose a single vegetable or a combination of potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, beets or sweet potatoes. Cut, then toss with olive oil and paprika or chili powder. Roast until tender and brown. Twenty minutes before they're done, toss several garlic cloves into the pan. The garlic will infuse the surrounding vegetables with flavor, and you can spread the softened cloves on bread.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Not all root vegetables are created equal. Some, like carrots and parsnips, are best roasted whole, while others, like beets and turnips, are better cut into smaller pieces. And some, like sweet potatoes and butternut squash, can be roasted with or without the skin.
- Use fresh, high-quality vegetables: The better the quality of your vegetables, the better your roasted root vegetables will be. Look for vegetables that are firm and brightly colored, and avoid any that are bruised or wilted.
- Season your vegetables well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices, to flavor your roasted root vegetables. Some popular choices include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- Roast your vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious browned exterior. The ideal roasting temperature for most root vegetables is between 400 and 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toss your vegetables with oil: This will help them to roast evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or even melted butter.
- Roast your vegetables until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the type of vegetable and the size of the pieces. But in general, most root vegetables will be tender after about 30-40 minutes of roasting.
Conclusion:
Roasted root vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying side dish, give roasted root vegetables a try.
