8 oz Ground turkey

8 oz Canned black beans, drained

8 oz Tomato sauce

1 pk Taco seasoning mix

1 c Cornmeal

1/2 ts Salt

1/3 c Milk

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350° F.

Spray a 9" pie plate with nonstick
cooking spray and set aside.

Spray a medium sized skillet with
nonstick cooking spray.

Sauté onions and green pepper until
tender, about 3-5 minutes.

Add turkey and cook until no longer
pink, breaking the meat up into small
chunks as you cook.

Stir in beans, tomato sauce, and taco
seasoning mix.

Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal,
sugar, and salt.

In a separate small bowl mix the egg,
milk, and oil.

Add egg mixture to cornmeal mixture and combine well.

Stir in drained corn.

Press the cornmeal mixture into the prepared pie
plate like a crumb crust.

Spoon the bean mixture on top of the cornmeal "crust".

Bake 20 minutes.

Sprinkle the top of the pie with grated cheese and
bake an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese
is melted.

Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
