Slow-Cooked Pizzaiola Meat Loaf

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 cup chopped sweet red, yellow or green peppers
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Italian cheese blend
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/4 pounds ground turkey
• 1 pound meat loaf mix (equal parts ground beef, pork and veal)
• Pizza sauce and shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

1. Cut three 25x3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on bottom and up sides of a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers and mushrooms; cook and stir until tender, 4-6 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, bread crumbs, cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and reserved cooked vegetables. Add turkey and meat loaf mix; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into a loaf; transfer to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer reads at least 160u0b0, 4 to 5 hours. Using foil strips as handles, remove meat loaf to a platter. If desired, serve with pizza sauce and Parmesan.
