1 (11-ounce) can corn, drained
1 (4-ounce) jar sliced pimentos
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

oil, chopped onion until tender. Add turkey, black beans, stewed
tomatoes, corn, sliced pimentos, and chili powder. Bring to a
boil, remove from the heat and stir in the cooked potato and
shredded cheddar cheese.
- Spoon the turkey mixture
into the prepared pie crust, cover with remaining dough and trim
