Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground turkey
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cups Pizza sauce
- 1 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cups Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.
Form the turkey mixture into a loaf shape that will fit into your crock pot. Place the meatloaf into the crock pot.
Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Set the crock pot to low and cook the meatloaf for 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, carefully spread the remaining 1/2 cup of pizza sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce and arrange the pepperoni slices on top.
Cover the crock pot lid and continue cooking on low for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the crock pot using a spatula or two large spoons (it may be delicate). Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to serve.
Serve warm and enjoy this pizza-inspired take on classic meatloaf!
