Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12x17-inch sheet pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Crumble ground turkey onto half of the prepared sheet pan; place onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic on other half. Drizzle turkey and vegetables with oil; season with salt and black pepper. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring once, until turkey is cooked through and vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Meanwhile, combine kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, corn, tomato paste, jalapeños, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl; stir well. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully pour kidney bean mixture over turkey and vegetables; gently stir to combine. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl until combined; whisk in milk, oil, honey, and egg until combined. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Place about 8 dollops of batter over top of chili; sprinkle batter mounds with Cheddar cheese. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Continue baking until chili is bubbling and cornbread is browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes. (30-35 minutes)

09

Step

Cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions just before serving. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of dark and light kidney beans.
Adjust the amount of jalapeños to control the heat. For a milder chili, remove the seeds and membranes before slicing.
If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour for the cornbread dumplings.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses for the topping. Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack would also be delicious.

    The cornbread was a little dry, next time I'll add a little more milk to the batter.
