Recipes Meat and Poultry Turkey Ground Turkey Recipes Easy Chili Cornbread Bake 4.6 (46) 38 Reviews 12 Photos Chili and cornbread go so well together, why not bake them in the same pan! I've been making this for years and my kids love it. I use ground turkey, but ground beef could be substituted if preferred. You can make this in individual 12- to 16-ounce casseroles if you prefer. Serve with tortilla chips and top with sour cream if desired.
