Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Ground Turkey
  • 3/4 Cup Bell Pepper chopped
  • 3/4 Cup Chopped Onion
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon Cilantro Chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded
  • 1 Cup Diced Tomatoes Fresh or low sodium canned
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper Chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: Chop the peppers, onions, cilantro and tomatoes if you are using fresh. Measure the chili powder and ground cumin; shred the cheese. Coat a slow cooker with olive oil or avocado oil spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, half of the onions, cilantro and the chopped jalapeno pepper together and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine the turkey, bell peppers, the remaining onions and 1/4 cup of the tomato mixture, chili powder, ground cumin and cheese together. Form the meat mixture into a small loaf.
  • Carefully place the loaf into a prepared slow cooker. Set the heat to low and cook for 4 hours or until the internal temperature has reached at least 165 degrees F.
  • Once the meatloaf is cooked, pour the remaining salsa mixture over the top of the meatloaf and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
