How to Make Baked Swiss Cornbread With Turkey Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornbread mix, milk, egg, and melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour half of the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, sauté mushrooms in butter until softened. Stir in Swiss cheese and spread evenly over the cornbread batter.
  5. Pour remaining cornbread batter over the mushroom and cheese layer.
  6. In a saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly until thickened. Reduce heat to low. Stir in turkey, cream cheese, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Simmer until heated through.
  7. Pour turkey cream sauce over the cornbread.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
