Slow Cooker Ground Turkey Salsa Loaf

Note: Picture won't upload right now. Ill add it later


Meatloaf has always been a favorite around here. But, in the heat of the summer there is nothing worse than heating up the house with the oven. So I sat down and developed a recipe everyone would love that I could use in my slow cooker. To make it a complete meal I serve it with my dirty mashed potatoes and either corn, a side salad or some other vegetable. Homemade bread rounds out the meal which can be done for less than 10 dollars and feeds at least 8 people. 2 rolls of ground turkey defrosted (that’s 2 lbs for those of you who buy it unfrozen out of the meat case.) 1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1 tsp sea salt 2 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp Italian seasoning 1/4 cup chopped onions (your choice of onion) 2 cloves garlic or shallots ( I usually do both.) 1 large egg 1/2 Cup Salsa (for later use) Mix everything but the salsa together in a large bowl. Shape into large loaf and place in slow cooker. Cook on high for approximately 3 hours or low for about 5. Around 2 1/2 hours pour 1/2 cup salsa on top and cook the rest of the way. Remove from slow cooker or crock pot slice and serve.
