Ingredients
  

  • Meatloaf:
  • ¼ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 7.5 ounces tomato sauce half of a 15-ounce can
  • 1 cup quick-cook oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh Italian parsley for garnish
  • Glaze:
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ of a 15-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Soak Breadcrumbs: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and milk. Allow the mixture to sit for a few moments so that the milk is absorbed into the breadcrumbs.
  • Combine Ingredients: To the breadcrumb/milk mixture, add the ground turkey, ground beef, tomato sauce, oats, eggs, black pepper, sea salt, celery salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Use gloved hands to mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  • Form Loaves: Divide the meat mixture in half and form into two loaves. You can cook both now if they will fit in your crockpot or freeze one loaf for cooking later.
  • Prepare Crockpot: Place one loaf into the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Make Glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, remaining tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, sea salt, brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and water until fully combined and smooth.
  • Add Glaze: Pour half of the glaze over the loaf (or all of the glaze if you are cooking both loaves).
  • Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf registers 165°F.
  • Serve: Slice the meatloaf and serve with the sauce from the crockpot. Garnish with fresh Italian parsley.
