Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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. Carefully pour kidney bean mixture over turkey and vegetables; gently stir to combine.

Step 5

Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl until combined; whisk in milk, oil, honey, and egg until combined. Place about 8 dollops of batter over top of chili; sprinkle batter mounds with Cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Continue baking until chili is bubbling and cornbread is browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions just before serving.
