I did approximations of the amount of ingredients but I did up the quantity of the juice, apple butter and seasons and kept the proportions of vegetables and meat more or less the same. This reheats very well and a lot of prep can be done in advance.

It's pretty much a one dish meal although a toss green salad is nice for a side although you have a lot of veggies in the mix - the Napa cabbage, carrots as well as the squash and rutabaga.As I recall I added parsnips because I love roasted parsnips and used turnips instead of rutabagas.

ETA - If you can't find kosher kielbasa, you could substitute a kosher hot dog - preferably one with casing so that it retains some snap. Smile
