Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs ground turkey
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
8 oz cremini mushrooms, chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, celery, chopped mushrooms, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape in the bottom of a lightly greased slow cooker insert.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can use leftover cooked turkey, shredded or ground, for this recipe. Adjust cooking time slightly if you do.
For a different flavor, substitute the ketchup topping with a mix of brown sugar and mustard.
If you prefer a firmer texture, you can line your slow cooker with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
