Ingredients

2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 pound fresh chorizo
1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2/3 cup salsa, divided
Additional minced fresh cilantro
Hot cooked Spanish rice

Directions

Combine bread and milk in a large bowl; let stand until liquid is absorbed. Add next 14 ingredients and 1/3 cup salsa; mix lightly but thoroughly.

On an 18x7-in. piece of heavy-duty foil, shape meat mixture into a 10x6-in. oval loaf. Lifting with foil, transfer to a 6-qt. oval slow cooker. Press ends of foil up sides of slow cooker.
Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until a thermometer reads 165°. Lifting with foil, drain fat into slow cooker before removing meat loaf to a platter; top with remaining salsa and sprinkle with cilantro. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with rice.
