This turkey chili pie combines a healthy, leaner turkey chili recipe with a hearty gluten-free cornbread topping, all baked together in one skillet. It’s basically a Mexican inspired turkey chili made in a skillet with a cornbread topping. The turkey keeps it nice and lean but of course, if you don’t care about that, feel free to use beef or beef and sausage (chorizo?) mix (yum!).
