Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the Filling:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 yellow onion
1 bell pepper
2 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans
4 ounces green chiles
1 cup frozen corn
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Topping:
2 cups masa harina flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch deep skillet over medium heat (cast iron, stainless steel, or oven-safe nonstick). Once hot, add the ground turkey and onion. Sauté, breaking up the turkey, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the turkey is mostly cooked and the onion is turning translucent.
  • Add the bell pepper and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, and salt and stir to completely combine.
  • Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chiles, and corn. Stir and cook just until bubbly.
  • Taste for seasoning. Turn off the heat and set aside while you make the topping.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
  • Add the chicken broth and use an electric mixer to beat for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy. Alternatively, beat with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the melted butter and egg and beat for 2 more minutes until well combined. The mixture should resemble creamy mashed potatoes-if it is too stiff, add another splash or two of broth. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese and mix just to combine.
  • Spread the cooked filling out in the skillet into an even layer. Top with 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
  • Top with large dollops of the masa topping, then use a rubber spatula to gently spread into an even layer, spreading almost to the edge.
  • Bake, uncovered, for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is very bubbly, the topping is pale golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center of the masa comes out clean. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
