Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water to the cooked meat to thicken it slightly, then simmer.

In a bowl, combine 2 boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup fire roasted green chilies, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/2 cup milk, mixing until combined.

Spread half of the cornbread mixture in the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Layer the cooked ground turkey mixture on top of the cornbread layer.

Spread the remaining cornbread mixture over the meat layer.

Top with 2 cups of shredded colby jack cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness after 20 minutes.
