Turkey and Mozzarella Meat Loaf - Slow Cooker

Yet another recipe that looked too good to be true. Really quick and easy to make and great hot or cold.

I cooked this one evening and then heated it in the microwave for dinner the next night.
It was really nice cold for lunch the next day too!

Not the best shot - the top was wonderfully cheesy and crispy!











SLOW COOKER Turkey and Mozzarella Meat Loaf 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken, or turkey
  • onion, finely diced
  • large eggs
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs, 
  • 1 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup prepared pasta sauce, divided
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

DIRECTIONS

  1. Use a 6-quart slow cooker with an inserted 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, 1⁄2 cup of the pasta sauce, and 1⁄2 cup of the cheese.
  2. Mix well (I use my hands) and press the meat into the loaf pan. Smear the remaining pasta sauce on top, and top with the remaining cheese.
  3. Lower the pan into the cooker insert (do not add water) and cover. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours
