  • In an oven safe baking dish, coat with nonstick spray, then add the cornbread mixture.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and turkey broth then pour over the cornbread mixture.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, top should brown. Remove from oven and can serve immediately or if prepping before can be reheated prior to serving.

Notes

  • Do all of your prep work the day before!
  • If preparing in advance, wait to pour the broth in until you're ready to bake in the oven.
