Slow-Cooker Meat Loaf

Remember we are making FOUR. One will be cooked today, and the other three will be frozen till a later date.
Grocery List:
4 pounds ground turkey
4 cups bread crumbs (this is one cylinder that you find in the store)
4 4oz cans sliced button mushrooms
2 large onions chopped
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons salt
8 eggs
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 15oz can of sweet potato puree
3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon ground red pepper

Divide the ingredients into four bowls.  In each bowl mix together 1 pound meat, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 can of mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs lightly beaten, 1 teaspoon garlic, and 1/2 cup sweet potato.
Shape the mixtures into loaves approximately 9x6 (or a shape that will fit into your slow cooker). Place one loaf into cooker and follow cooking directions.  To freeze the other three, first wrap in plastic wrap. Then cover the loaves in aluminum foil. Write cooking directions on the foil along with today's date and recipe title.

Cooking Directions: Completely thaw loaf. Combine 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard, and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper in a small bowl. Place loaf in slow cooker and cover with ketchup mixture. Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 2 1/2 hours. Six servings.
