Ingredients

• 2 center-cut bacon slices, chopped
• 2 3/4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
• 1 1/4 cups finely chopped yellow squash
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions (whites only)
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup plain yellow cornmeal
• 3/4 tsp. black pepper
• 3/8 tsp. kosher salt, divided
• 1/4 cup yogurt (not Greek)
• 1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric

Directions

1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add bacon; cook, stirring often, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve drippings in skillet.

2. Increase heat to medium-high. Add corn and squash to dripping; cook until lightly charred and al dente, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cool 10 minutes. Add onions, eggs, cornmeal, pepper, 1/4 tsp. salt and cooked bacon to corn mixture; stir to combine. Let mixture stand 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Stir together yogurt, maple syrup, turmeric, and remaining 1/8 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

4. Heat skillet over medium. Drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls into skillet, flatted slightly with a spatula, and cook until firm and browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with turmeric-yogurt mixture.
