Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F.


Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add turkey, bell peppers and jalapeños, and cook, stirring often, until turkey is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add chard, garlic, white pepper, cayenne pepper (if using) and salt and cook until chard is wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.


Meanwhile, put cornmeal, broth, 3/4 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cook, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes, 4 to 5 minutes.


Coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with canola oil spray, then spread half the cornmeal mixture evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon the turkey mixture over the top, then spread remaining cornmeal mixture over that. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cornmeal crust is lightly browned.
