Ingredients
1 Lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 egg
1 1/2 cups milk
1 (15.25 oz.) can corn, drained

1 (1.25 oz.) envelope taco seasoning mix

Tips
Use frozen corn, low sodium tomatoes and low sodium taco seasonings to reduce the amount of sodium this recipe.
I like "spice" I would also add some chopped jalapeno's when serving.
Directions
