Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, and baking powder. Stir in the skim milk and the egg until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked turkey mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Pour the cornmeal batter over the turkey mixture and spread it to cover evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of the batter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through.
