Method

In a large, nonstick skillet brown turkey until no longer pink. Drain off fat; stir seasoning mix into turkey. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour, corn meal, yeast, sugar, milk, oil and egg. Stir until just combined. Spoon the batter into a greased 8x8x2-inch square baking dish or pan; smooth top. Top the batter with the turkey. Spoon the salsa over the turkey. Sprinkle with chips and cheese. Place the dish or pan on a lower shelf in a COLD oven. Turn oven temperature to 350 F. (This will allow the batter to rise as the oven heats.) Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 25-35 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.

 

Notes: This simple yeast-based dish is fast and easy to prepare. Serve it as a main dish for 4 to 6, or as an appetizer when cut into small bars or squares.

 

Number of Servings: 4 - 6
