Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package cornbread mix (such as Jiffy®)

  • ½ cup creamed corn

  • cup whole milk

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ teaspoon ground sage

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce, divided

  • 2 cups refrigerated mashed potatoes, warmed

  • ½ pound sliced cooked turkey

  • 4 tablespoons hot turkey gravy

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 6 muffin cups with cooking spray.

  2. Stir cornbread mix, creamed corn, milk, egg, sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. Divide mixture evenly among the muffin cups

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 17 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. Using a teaspoon measuring spoon, hollow out the center of each cornbread cupcake; reserve scooped out cornbread. Fill each hole with about 2 teaspoons cranberry sauce. Use reserved cornbread to top each hole.

  5. Place mashed potatoes in a resealable plastic bag and snip off 1 corner of the bag. Pipe about 1/3 cup potatoes on top of each cupcake. Place 2 turkey slices on each mound of potatoes, and drizzle each with 2 teaspoons gravy. Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley.
