  • Step 2

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and a large pinch of salt. Saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and poblano peppers. Season with black pepper, cumin, and oregano. Cook and stir until peppers start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add chipotles and adobo sauce. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

  • Step 3

    Add turkey and half the Cheddar cheese to the pepper mixture. Add enchilada sauce, remaining salt, and chicken broth. Stir mixture and pour it into a 9×12-inch baking dish; place dish over a sheet pan to catch drippings.

  • Step 4

    Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, and kosher salt together in a large bowl. Add eggs and milk; whisk into a thin batter. Ladle batter over the turkey mixture. Scatter remaining Cheddar cheese on top.

  • Step 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is browned and a toothpick comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

    • Chef's Notes:

    You can sub in virtually any other meat and/or vegetable for the turkey, and it should work just as well.

    If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use 3/4 cup all-purpose flour sifted with 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon fine table salt.
