  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced

  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 cup canned red beans, drained and rinsed

  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes

  • Olive oil to brown the turkey

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Shredded cheddar cheese to serve

  • Sour cream to serve

For the cornbread bowl:

  • 1/2 cup melted butter

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 1/2 cups milk

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions:

  1. In a pot, drizzle olive oil, brown the ground turkey and stir in garlic, onions, peppers, spices, salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes on medium-high heat.

  2. Add crushed tomatoes, beans, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well, cover, and cook on low heat for 1-2 hours.

  3. In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar together. Then mix in the eggs and milk, until fully combined.
