Turkey, Cheddar, corn, and macaroni casserole topped with cornbread, baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients:
  • cooking spray
  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1.5 pounds ground turkey
  • 1.5 cups barbeque sauce (such as KC Masterpiece® Original)
  • 1 (8 ounce) bag frozen corn
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 (7.5 ounce) packages cornbread mix (such as Jiffy®)
  • 0.66666668653488 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (12 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and give a gentle spritz of cooking spray to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • As the pasta cooks, simmer onion and garlic in oil in a 3-quart pot over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Brown and crumble ground turkey for another 5 to 7 minutes. Add barbeque sauce, corn, and red pepper flakes. Stir and let it simmer for 5 minutes on low heat.
  • Combine cornbread mix, creamy milk, and farm-fresh eggs in a bowl. Let it sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the macaroni, meat, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and top with spoonfuls of cornbread batter.
  • Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven until it turns a light golden brown, for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
