Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings 2 pounds ground turkey 1 cup diced onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 ½ cups salsa 2 teaspoons ground cumin ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper ½ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste (Optional) Corn Bread Base: 1 ¼ cups milk 1 cup polenta ½ cup butter, softened ½ cup corn flour 3 tablespoons egg whites 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 cups shredded Mexican-style Cheddar cheese blend, divided 2 cups salsa Directions Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir in the hot skillet until turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups salsa, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Stir together. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Whisk milk, polenta, butter, corn flour, egg whites, and baking soda together in a bowl. Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Pour cooked ground turkey mixture over corn bread layer. Bake casserole in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican-style Cheddar cheese blend on top. Continue baking until top is bubbling, 5 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes. Top casserole with remaining 1/2 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese and 2 cups salsa. Cook's Notes: I used homemade salsa. Heavy whipping cream can be substituted for the milk, if desired.
