I tried this dish tonight. However, I forgot to use the thyme, and I have lots of it in the garden. I used sweet potato instead of butternut squash. It tasted great. I will use it again. Thanks.

Good man, the thyme gives it a good flavour, next time look out the window!!
Sorry to those wanting a South Beach recipe, but as far as I know carrots, worcestershire sauce, and peas are all out. They're all high glycemic index foods, unfortunately.
But never fear: Off the top of my head, you could substitute chopped sugar snap peas for peas and maybe celery or orange bell pepper for carrots (flavor's different, but the texture'd be there). The amount of worcestershire sauce this calls for is minimal, so you could just go for it, or you could omit it and add 1. more gravy, 2. a dash of dry mustard, or 3. a base (w/o MSG!) to oomph up the flavor. Perhaps another poster will have better substitution ideas.
