Zubereitung von Healthier Tamale Casserole

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 chopped bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 jalapeño pepper, minced, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 pound ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup frozen corn, 3/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Transfer the turkey mixture to an 8x8 inch baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup yellow cornmeal and 1 cup water until smooth.
Gradually pour the cornmeal mixture into the boiling water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Pour the cornmeal mixture evenly over the turkey mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy! (Optional: Add a dash of Frank's RedHot® sauce to each serving for extra heat.)
