Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 15-ounce can Diced tomatoes (no salt added), undrained
• 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 box Fat-free or low-fat cornbread mix
• 0.5 cup Skim milk
• 2 tablespoons Egg substitute or egg white
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Spray a large oven-safe skillet or a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), black beans, frozen corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 6

If using an oven-safe skillet, remove the skillet from heat. If not, transfer the turkey and veggie mixture to the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, prepare the cornbread topping. Combine the cornbread mix, skim milk, and egg substitute or egg white. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the turkey and vegetable mixture.

Step 9

Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and cooked through. You can test with a toothpick inserted into the cornbread; it should come out clean.

Step 10

Carefully remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
