A cross between pizza and tacos with a corn muffin mix for the crust. Your kids won't even notice you've hidden healthy yellow squash in the crust.

  • 1 medium yellow squash, coarsely shredded (about 1 cup)

Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl prepare muffin mix according to package instructions, stirring shredded squash into batter. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan; spread cornbread mixture in bottom of pan. Bake about 20 minutes, remove from oven and set aside. Meanwhile in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground turkey and onions until turkey is browned and crumbly. Drain off any grease from pan; add salsa and heat to bubbling. Spread mixture over cornbread, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 10-15 more minutes until cheese is bubbling. Cut in squares and serve topped with shredded lettuce and sour cream.

 

Notes: This dish really appeals to kids. It's a cross between a taco and a pizza. What I like about it is how easy it is to make and that I can sneak in some veggies and the yellow squash disappears in the cornbread.

 

Number of Servings: 6-8
