Meat Loaf with Parmesan & Tomato

A super easy recipe from Weight Watchers One Pot Cookbook, that will be a go-to once you give it a try.  I've added a few modifications below based on what I had on hand when I made this for the first time.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fat-free egg substitute (or 1 egg, lightly beaten)
1 garlic clove, minced (or 1/2 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup canned tomato sauce (or marinara sauce)

Directions:
1.  Line bottom and part way up side of 5 or 6 quart slow cooker with sheet of nonstick foil

2. Mix together turkey, zucchini, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons of parsley, the egg, garlic, salt and pepper in medium bowl just until mixed well.  Shape mixture into loaf about 6 inches long x 3.5 inches high; place in slow cooker and spoon sauce on top.  (Alternatively, you can remove the foil from the cooker and form the loaf on the foil, then transfer both to the slow cooker).  Spoon tomato sauce on top.

3.  Cover and cook 1 hour on high.  Reduce heat to low and cook until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of loaf registers 160F, about 4 hours longer.

4. Carefully lift meat loaf from slow cooker using foil as handles and transfer to a cutting board; let stand covered with foil 10 minutes.  Sprinkle meat loaf with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and cut into slices.
