Satisfying turkey and pasta casserole topped with crispy cornbread and gooey Mexican cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 0.25 cup fat-free chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
  • 2 ounces orzo pasta
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa, or to taste
  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn muffin mix
  • 1 (8.25 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil and cook ground turkey until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove excess fat. Add chicken broth and taco seasoning mix to the turkey, stirring until the liquid reduces and thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine orzo with turkey, simmer until slightly softened for about 2 minutes, mix in salsa, and transfer to a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Combine the muffin mix, creamed corn, and milk in a bowl, then spread the corn mixture over the turkey mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
