Spray the inside of a crock pot with cooking spray to prevent the meatloaf from sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, panko breadcrumbs, milk, diced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape that will fit inside your crock pot. Place the shaped loaf directly into the prepared crock pot.
Spread half of the barbecue sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create a glaze. Reserve the remaining half for later.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 3 hours, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
About 15 minutes before the cook time is complete, spread the reserved barbecue sauce over the meatloaf for an extra layer of glaze.
When the meatloaf is fully cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot using a wide spatula and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the meatloaf into even portions and serve warm. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
