Outside-In Turkey Tamale Pie

Still trying to find the best proportions of corn meal for this - but want to get it somewhere more permanent.
  • 1 1/4 lbs ground turkey - I use Sweet Italian seasoned
  • 3/4 C corn meal
  • 1 C chicken broth
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with chilies
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3/4 C sweet corn - drained
  • 1/2 C kidney beans
  • 1/2 C black olives, sliced
  • 2 t chili powder
  • 1 t cumin
  • optional - diced fresh red, green, or yellow peppers

Brown sausage with cumin and chili powder, add onion, peppers, corn, beans, black olives to sauté 2 - 4 minutes. Add diced tomatoes. In separate bowl, add chicken broth and cornmeal, let stand 5 minutes. Stir all together, add to crockpot. Cook 3-4 hours high or 7-8 hours low.

I think the next time I make this, I will prop open the cover to let a little steam out or add more cornmeal. It was a little on the mush side last time.
