Ingredients
- 6 oz Ground turkey (93% lean)
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 7.5 oz Diced tomatoes (no salt added)
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 2 tbsp Canned green chilies, diced
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Fat-free chicken broth
- 3 tbsp Cornmeal (fine)
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
- 1 spray Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a small oven-safe casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened.
Step 4
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, green chilies, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, skim milk, chicken broth, salt, and baking powder to form a smooth batter.
Step 6
Pour the cornmeal batter evenly over the turkey mixture in the casserole dish, spreading gently to cover.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the batter.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornmeal topping is golden and set.
Step 9
Let the tamale pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your WW Core-friendly tamale pie warm!
