  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package cornbread mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. Pour the turkey mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. In a medium bowl, prepare the cornbread mix according to package directions, using 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk.
  7. Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the turkey mixture.
  8. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the turkey mixture.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
