My Family's Favorite Meatloaf
"This meatloaf has been my creation since I was 12 years old and started cooking. I typically just throw it together without mixing and my family always enjoys it more than any others I've tried. (Except my son, who thoroughly enjoys Hawaiian meatloaf!)"
- Ready In:
- 8hrs 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 455 g lean ground turkey
- 1⁄2 cup rolled oats (not instant or quick)
- 60 g egg white substitute
- 1⁄2 cup frozen peppers and onions
- 1⁄8 cup ketchup (I use sugar free)
- 2 tablespoons prepared mustard (French's here!)
- salt
- pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 1 yellow squash
directions
- Toss all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together using either a fork or clean hands.
- Roll up 5 sheets of tin foil, placing 3 across the bottom of the crockpot and 2 crossing the others. This gives you a handle to pick the meatloaf up out of the crock and also allows the oils to drain from the meat.
- Form the mixture into a loaf and set in crockpot on the tinfoil "creation". Add sliced zucchini and squash along the top.
- Cover, cook on low 8-10 hours.
- Enjoy and come back to let me know about it! :D.
- (Note: I use my hand and cut the yolk in 1/2 and then sub 1TBS of egg whites to make it a little lower in cholesterol.).

I made this a few weeks ago and wasn't able to post it at that time due to circumstances. Sorry Smooch At any rate It's great, and the fact that it uses turkey instead of beef is a bonus.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a 32 year old mommy to an amazing 8 year old boy, Aidan. We live in WV, and moved in with my parents after my divorce and some health problems. In the photo with me are my dad and my son. We're raising two cute kitty cats, Pete and Polly, who have very opposite personalities. Both were rescues. Polly is 4 months old and Pete is a year and 1/2.
I'm battling an eating disorder that I've had for almost 13 years now. My highest weight was 220lbs and my lowest was 76. Neither were healthy, so now, my cooking reflects a desire to avoid those weights. Eventually, I hope to work with people who struggle with eating disorders. I have my BA in Psychology.
I'm not employed right now, due to a couple of seizures, but I'm getting very antsy and ready to get back out to earn my keep. For now, earning my keep is pretty much cleaning and cooking.
My son is sooooooooooooooo healthy and loves fruits and veggies, so he's fun to feed! He's a smart kid too and gets in trouble in school as a result. haha! When he grows up, he's going to be a chef, he says, and we watch Take Home Chef together.
I'm addicted to zaar and try to choose new recipes weekly. It irritates my family some, because often a good recipe gets forgotten, but I almost always find them again.
