Everyone is in love with our turkey meatloaf, so we brought you another one that can be cooked in your slow cooker. This one is weeknight friendly, you can prep the night before and then just put it in the slow cooker before heading to work in the morning.
We suggest serving with whole wheat orzo, but rice or quinoa or farro all would be a perfect side dish.
