1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, swirl in olive oil and add the turkey, peppers, onion and garlic. Cook, breaking up the turkey, until browned. Stir in the tomato sauce, corn, 1/2 tsp. salt and the chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring once or twice, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Transfer to an 9 x 11 baking dish.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of the water and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt to a boil. In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal into the remaining 1 cup water. Slowly pour the moist cornmeal into the boiling water in a thin steady stream, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes back to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to form large bubbles, about 5 minutes. Spread over the turkey mixture. Bake 25 minutes, then sprinkle with the cheese and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
