The combination of sweet cornbread and spicy taco flavors really livens up this meal. Using ground turkey instead of beef cuts the fat and makes a delicious dinner guilt-free. —Christy West, Greenfield, Indiana

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk and egg. Stir in corn just until blended. Spread evenly into a 10-in. ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 14-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook the turkey, onion, red pepper and jalapenos over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  3. Spoon turkey mixture over cornbread; sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with tomato, olives and green onions. Cut into 6 wedges; top each with sour cream.
