Preparation

*FOR A SHORTCUT: Prepare 1 box/bag corn muffin mix, such as Jiffy, according to package directions

Preheat oven to 400°F

For the chili, heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Add bacon and render 2-3 minutes. Add onions, garlic, jalapeño peppers, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt and pepper, and stir to toast spices. Cook 7-8 minutes to soften, stirring frequently. Add turkey or chicken, tomatoes and gravy or stock. Reduce heat to low to keep at barely a simmer.

Mix cornbread topper: Combine dry ingredients then add wet to dry and stir to combine. Pour batter over chili, transfer skillet to oven and bake 10-12 minutes until golden. Top with cheese in even layer and bake to brown and bubble.

Serve chili directly from the skillet topped with chopped scallions.
