Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ cup diced onion
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
1 ½ pounds ground turkey
-
1 ½ cups barbeque sauce (such as KC Masterpiece® Original)
-
1 (8 ounce) bag frozen corn
-
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (Optional)
-
2 (7.5 ounce) packages cornbread mix (such as Jiffy®)
-
⅔ cup milk
-
2 eggs
-
1 (12 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
-
While pasta boils, heat oil in a 3-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in barbeque sauce, corn, and red pepper flakes. Mix well, reduce heat, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, mix cornbread mix, milk, and eggs together in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Combine macaroni, meat mixture, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour mixture into the prepared dish. Spoon cornbread batter on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cornbread is light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
