Combine spices and set aside: bay leaves, salt, cayenne, black, and white peppers, cumin and nutmeg.
Chop vegetables and garlic in the food processor: onions, celery, carrot, bell pepper, green onions and garlic.
Heat a large saute or wok with the oil and the spread. Saute the vegetables for about 4 minutes. Add the spices (bay thru thyme); and the sauces. Stir to combine. Saute mixture until it starts sticking excessively, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom well. Stir in milk and ketchup. Continue cooking about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool about 10 minutes or more.
In a large bowl, mix ground beef and turkey. Add eggs, cooked vegetable mixture and bread crumbs. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
CHOICE: *Put into a large loaf pan and bake 25 minutes at 350F; then increase oven to 400F and bake 60 minutes. *Or put in the center of a baking pan, shape mixture into loaf. This method is faster and the sides will brown. Bake uncovered at 350 for 25 minutes. Raise heat to 400 and continue cooking 35 minutes longer.
