Recipe Summary Mexican Polenta Casserole
Ground turkey, beans, polenta, and just the right seasonings make this dish amazing! My family devours this time and time again. I love the way the polenta makes a crust! Soooo good. I can't remember where the recipe came from but I have made it my own and perfected it. I know you will love it, too.Ingredients | Polenta Glutenfrei2 (18 ounce) packages prepared polenta, divided2 tablespoons olive oil1 medium onion, chopped1 medium green bell pepper, chopped3 cloves garlic, minced1 pound ground turkey3 tablespoons chili powder1 tablespoon ground cumin¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained1 cup prepared salsa3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided1 small tomato, chopped¼ cup chopped fresh cilantroDirectionsPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 3-quart glass casserole. Break up 1 tube polenta in the casserole and press evenly so it covers the bottom of the dish.Slice remaining 1 tube polenta into enough thin slices to cover the top of the casserole; set aside.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until glistening. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds.Lower heat to medium and stir in turkey, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until turkey is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add black beans, drained tomatoes, and salsa and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes.While turkey mixture is simmering, bake polenta crust in the preheated oven until firm, 7 to 10 minutes.Remove polenta crust from the oven and sprinkle with 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Top with turkey mixture and lay sliced polenta on top.Return to the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 2 cups Monterey Jack and bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped tomato and cilantro.I use garlic and tomato polenta instead of traditional polenta.Info | Polenta Glutenfreiprep: 35 mins cook: 1 hr 5 mins additional: 15 mins total: 1 hr 55 mins Servings: 10 Yield: 1 3-quart casserole
