Steps:
- 1. Cover a wire rack small enough to fit in the slow cooker with foil; spray the foil with nonstick spray.

Transfer the turkey mixture to the rack; form into a 5x9 inch loaf. 2. Place the meatloaf and the rack in a 5-6 qt. slow cooker. Spread the top of the meatloaf with the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup. Cover and cook until the meatloaf reaches an internal temp. of 165 degrees, 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low. Transfer to a cutting board ; cut into 6 slices.
Tips:
- Use a lean ground beef to reduce fat and calories. You can also use a combination of ground beef and ground turkey or pork.
- Add vegetables to the meatloaf mixture to boost its nutritional value and flavor. Shredded carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms are all good options.
- Use a low-sodium tomato sauce to reduce the salt content of the meatloaf. You can also make your own tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes and herbs.
- Top the meatloaf with a layer of ketchup or barbecue sauce before cooking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Cook the meatloaf on a low setting for 6-8 hours, or on a high setting for 3-4 hours. If you are using a slow cooker with a removable crock, you can cook the meatloaf on the stovetop over medium heat for 20 minutes before transferring it to the slow cooker.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.
Conclusion:
This Weight Watchers-friendly slow-cooker meatloaf is a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It is a great way to use up leftover ground beef and vegetables, and it is a perfect meal for a busy weeknight. Serve it with mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad for a complete meal.
