Directions
For chili, cook turkey, onion, bell pepper and garlic over medium heat in a large pot 8 to 10 minutes or until meat is brown and vegetables are tender; drain.
Stir in tomatoes, water and cumin. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in green beans. Serve with Cheesy Corn Fritters.
For Cheesy Corn Fritters, combine muffin mix, egg, milk, corn and cheese in a large bowl. Heat oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. For each fritter, pour about 3 Tbsp. batter into hot skillet. Cook 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
NOTE: 3 cups chopped cooked turkey may be substituted for ground turkey breast. Add with tomatoes in Step 2. Cooked fritters can be kept warm in a 200°F oven while cooking remaining fritters.
