Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds ground dark-meat turkey
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 minced jalapeno chiles (seeds and ribs removed for less heat, if desired)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
4 cups fresh (from 6 ears) or thawed frozen corn kernels
Cornmeal Crust
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make filling: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches, brown turkey, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet. Cook onion, jalapeno, and cumin, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes; season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Return turkey to pan; stir in tomatoes and corn until combined.
  • Make Crust. Pour 1/8 of the crust (1/4 cup) into the bottom of each of eight 10- to 12-ounce ramekins. Smooth tops with a spoon; cool 5 minutes. Top each with turkey filling, dividing evenly; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until filling is bubbling and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.

The crust was too dry and the filling was too wet. I think I must have done something wrong.

These tamale pies were a little bland for my taste. I would have liked more seasoning in the filling.

These were easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought enchilada sauce and it worked perfectly.

I'm not a fan of cornbread, but I loved these tamale pies. The filling was so flavorful and the crust was crispy and flaky.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tamale pies came out perfect. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more cheese to the filling.

These tamale pies were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and moist, and the cornbread crust was crispy and golden brown. I especially loved the addition of the green chilies, which gave the dish a nice kick.
