Best Ever Slow Cooker Turkey Meatloaf. I tend to be a bit of an over-exaggerator. I often speak using superlatives and get crazy expressive and animated when telling a story.
It helps get the point across. But I promise you. This is, hands-down, the Best Ever Slow Cooker Turkey Meatloaf I have ever eaten! It’s juicy and full of flavor and pairs well with just about any vegetable and side of rice or quinoa.
Best of all, it’s easy to assemble and doesn’t require any pre-cooking or browning of ground meat (you’re welcome!). Even the kids will love it! (All the kids in our house devoured every last bite).
Many thanks to Jenn for sharing this recipe. I hereby declare that it is, indeed, the BEST Meatloaf Ever!

2 ½ pounds ground turkey (minced turkey) - or ground beef
1 tablespoon (affiliate link)brown sugar

2 tablespoon (affiliate link)Dijon mustard
¼ cup (affiliate link)ketchup (tomato sauce Australia and UK)
1 tablespoon (affiliate link)Worcestershire sauce

4 tablespoon (affiliate link)white vinegar
4 teaspoon (affiliate link)sugar (white sugar)
â…” cup (affiliate link)ketchup (tomato sauce Australia and UK)
¼ cup yellow onion
¼ cup water
Instructions
- Mix all the meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl. (if you have time, which you probably don’t, you can sauté the diced onion. Totally optional and will taste great either way.)
- Form into a loaf to fit the slow cooker. Place a strip of foil under the meatloaf to make it easier to place in and remove from the crock.
- In a smaller bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the sauce.
- Once you have the meat formed in the slow cooker, cover the top of the meatloaf with the sauce.
- Cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
