Ingredients

White bread

3 slice(s), cut into 1-inch squares

Fat free skim milk

cup(s)

Carrots

3 medium

Onion

2 small

Celery

1 rib(s), medium, coarsely chopped

Uncooked extra lean ground turkey breast

1 pound(s)

Egg

1 large egg(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp

Uncooked red potato

6 small, scrubbed and halved

Cremini mushroom

½ pound(s), fresh, sliced

Instructions

  1. Place the bread in a large bowl. Pour the milk over the bread and let stand 10 minutes.
  2. Coarsely chop 1 of the carrots and cut the remaining 2 carrots into 2-inch chunks. Coarsely chop half of 1 onion and slice the remaining onions. Set aside the carrot chunks and sliced onions.
  3. Place the chopped carrot, chopped onion, and celery in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to the bowl with the bread mixture. Add the turkey, egg, and salt; mix with hands until combined. Shape the mixture into an oval loaf and place in a slow cooker.
  4. Arrange the potatoes, mushrooms, and reserved carrot chunks and onion slices around the meatloaf. Cover and cook until the meat and vegetables are fork-tender, 4–5 hours on high or 8–10 hours on low.
  5. Transfer the meatloaf to a platter and cut into 6 slices. Spoon the vegetables around the meatloaf. Yields 1 slice meatloaf and 1⁄6 of vegetables per serving.
