#Whats4dinner chicken corn chowder gravy

Today i did something i had not tried before and it worked out pretty well

1 lb ground turkey (beef is always better)
2 cups frozen corn thawed & dried
1 medium onion diced
1 red pepper chopped
2 cloves garlic diced
1/2 cup milk
2 tspns corn starch
2 cups chicken stock
3 tblspns butter
3 tblspns olive oil
i served over rice but this is what i did

melt 2 tblspns butter & 2 tblspns olive oil in a 12 inch skillet
brown ground meat remove to plate
fat content will determine if you need more oil before adding corn
add 1 tblspn olive oil and butter
add 2 cups corn brown/cook for 3 minutes
add onion continue to cook brown until corn and onion are carmelized
in the last minute or so add garlic
deglaze pan with 2 cups chicken stock
add red pepper
simmer slowly until reduced by half remove from heat
add corn starch to cold milk
and whisk in cornstarch milk slurry into skillet
taste add salt and pepper as needed

i served over white rice and was a hit with all good luck
