SHEET PAN TURKEY CHILI WITH CORNBREAD "DUMPLINGS"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12x17-inch sheet pan.
• Crumble ground turkey and place onto one half of the sheet pan. Place onion, bell pepper, garlic, and celery on the other half of the sheet pan. Drizzle both with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring once, until meat is cooked through and vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chicken broth, tomato paste, corn, jalapenos, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. Carefully pour mixture over the turkey and vegetables, and gently stir to combine.
• Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until combined. Add milk, oil, honey, and egg, whisking until combined. Place about 8 dollops of the batter over the top of the chili. Sprinkle each "dumpling" with Cheddar cheese.
• Carefully return sheet pan to the hot oven, and bake until chili is bubbling and cornbread is browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions just before serving.

CHILI CASSEROLE WITH A CORNMEAL CRUST

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE CHILI:
• 2. Heat ~ 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet set to medium heat.
• 3. Add onions once oil is hot and sauté until onions are fragrant and translucent. Add pepper and garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
• 4. Add beef and cook until meat is browned.
• 5. Once meat is browned, immediately add tomatoes and their juices. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne and salt. Simmer until mixture is slightly thickened.
• 6. Remove from heat and place in a 1 ½ qt. casserole dish. Allow to cool a bit as you make the crust.
• 7. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• 8. FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
• 9. Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
• 10. Gradually incorporate cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter, fork or your hands. Continue to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• 11. Add ¼ cup very cold water and mix very lightly with your hands. If the dough sticks together enough to form a ball, you have enough water. If there is still dough at the bottom of your bowl, add more water, 1 Tbsp at a time until you can form a ball with the dough.
• 12. On a well-floured surface, roll the ball out to create a circle that is slightly larger than your casserole dish.
• 13. Place flattened dough on top of casserole dish, so sides hang over slightly. Turn the overhanging dough under and pinch around the sides of your dish.
• 14. Cut three slits in the middle of the pie to allow steam to escape.
• 15. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

CORNBREAD TOPPED CAST-IRON SKILLET CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon of the cornmeal. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chili powder (use less if you like milder chili) and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, beans and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and bring to simmer. Cook until the meat becomes tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. If the liquid reduces to less than three-quarters of the way up the sides of the meat, stir in a little water.
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Whisk the remaining 3/4 cup cornmeal, 3/4 cup flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the sour cream, milk and egg together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and Cheddar cheese. Drop oval-shaped spoonfuls of batter on top of the chili, leaving space in between. The batter will not completely cover the chili.
• Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back when touched, and the chili is hot and bubbly, about 17 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and serve with more sour cream.
