Ingredients

• 1-1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
• 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
• 1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle hot pepper sauce, optional
• 2-2/3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups mashed potato flakes

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. In a large skillet, cook turkey, onion, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking up turkey into crumbles. Stir in corn, green chilies and, if desired, pepper sauce. Transfer to a greased 8-in.-square baking dish.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring water, butter, cream, pepper and remaining salt to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in potato flakes. Spoon over turkey mixture, spreading to cover. Bake 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and potatoes are light brown.
