This updating and “greening up” of the corn dog idea makes a great lunch or dinner
Ingredients
1 (12-ounce) bag Cut `n Clean Greens Beet Greens
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 onion, diced
2-3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 (1-pound) smoked turkey sausage, chopped
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/ 2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 (8.5-ounce) packages corn bread/muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded provolone cheese, divided use
Preparation
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mist a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook beet greens over medium heat until they wilt, about 3-4 minutes; add 1 tablespoon water if the greens are sticking to the pan. Remove greens to a bowl and set aside.
Wash out skillet and heat oil or butter. Sauté celery and onions over medium-low heat until soft but not browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic during the last minute (so it doesn’t burn). Remove vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
In same pan, sauté sausage for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, poultry seasoning and pepper. Stir in the corn bread mix, celery-onion mixture and sausage. Stir in half the wilted, drained beet greens (save rest for another use) and three-quarters of the cheese.
Pour batter into prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes. Top will be golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 5-10 minutes before cutting.
Serves 12.
