Savory Thanksgiving Cupcakes: A Delicious & Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 (8.5 ounce) package cornbread mix (such as Jiffy®)
• 0.5 cup creamed corn
• 0.33 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground sage
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce, divided
• 2 cups refrigerated mashed potatoes, warmed
• 0.5 pound sliced cooked turkey
• 4 tablespoons hot turkey gravy
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine cornbread mix, creamed corn, milk, egg, sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Using a teaspoon, carefully create a small well in the center of each cornbread cupcake; set aside the removed cornbread. Fill each well with about 2 teaspoons of cranberry sauce. Crumble the reserved cornbread and use it to cover the cranberry sauce filling.
5. Transfer mashed potatoes to a resealable plastic bag, then cut off a small corner. Pipe about 1/3 cup of mashed potatoes onto each cupcake. Top each potato mound with 2 slices of turkey and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of gravy. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley and serve warm.
