The ingredients for Spicy Tamale Casserole are:

4 tsp. canola oil
1 green bell pepper, seeded & chopped
2 red onions, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, deveined & minced
1 serrano pepper, seeded, deveined & minced
1 garlic clove
1/2 lb. groud turkey breast (93% lean or better)
1 C. tomato sauce (if on low sodium diet use no salt added tomato sauce)
1 C. frozen kernel corn (without butter)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Chili powder
2/3 Cup ground yellow cornbread
1/3 Cup shredded reduced fat monterey jack cheese

Here is how you make Spicy Tamale Casserole:

In a large nonstick skillt, heat the oil. Saute the bell pepper, onions, jalapeno & garlic til softened, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey & cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon til browned, 5-8 minutes. Sti in the tomato sauce, corn, 1/4 tsp salt & the chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat & simmer covered, stirring once or twice til the sauce thickens slightly about 15 minutes. Transfer to an 8 inch baking dish. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water & remaining 1/4 tsp. salt to a boil. In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal into 1 Cup Water, slowly pour the cornmeal into the boiling water in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon til the mixture comes back to a boil. Reduce heat & cook, stirring constantly, til mix thikens & forms large bubbles, about 5 minutes. Spread over turkey mixture so it is completely covered. (I try to seal the edges with the mix) Bake 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake til ceese melts, about 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut into four sections. Serve. One seriving is one section cut into fours.Notes:To give it some extra kick I add either chipotle powder, or cayenne, or just add a couple of extra warm peppers. If you're on a low sodium diet, you could use lite salt instead of regular salt. Or omit it altogether in the turkey mixture and only use it for the cornmeal mixture.
