Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 6 muffin cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

Stir cornbread mix, creamed corn, milk, egg, sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. Divide mixture evenly among the muffin cups

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 17 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Using a teaspoon measuring spoon, hollow out the center of each cornbread cupcake; reserve scooped out cornbread. Fill each hole with about 2 teaspoons cranberry sauce. Use reserved cornbread to top each hole.

Step 5

Place mashed potatoes in a resealable plastic bag and snip off 1 corner of the bag. Pipe about 1/3 cup potatoes on top of each cupcake. Place 2 turkey slices on each mound of potatoes, and drizzle each with 2 teaspoons gravy. Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley.
