Deep Dish Tamale Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

=== FILLING ===
1 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion salt
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cup whole kernel corn
=== CRUST ===
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp margarine, melted
1/2 cup skim milk
1 egg white
=== TOPPING ===
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown ground turkey with seasonings, onion,
green pepper and tomato paste. Pour into baking dish. Top with chopped
tomatoes and corn.
In a bowl, mix dry ingredients of crust together. In a separate bowl, mix
melted margarine, milk and egg white. Pour liquid ingredients over
cornmeal mixture and stir only until moistened (it will be lumpy). Drop in
spoonfuls over turkey mixture. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Bake for
about 20 minutes or until "crust" is done.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
Comments: Instead of a pie crust, hamburger and a fat-laden topping, a
cornmeal muffin-like crust and ground turkey are substituted. This makes
this recipe significantly healthier.
