TURKEY TAMALE CASSEROLE
An easy, delicious version of a tamale that tastes like the real thing! I cheated a little bit with the taco mix, but it was in the cupboard and I figured it couldn't hurt, and it turned out great.

Steps:
- Crumble turkey into a large skillet over medium high heat and cook until almost all the pink is gone, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add green bell pepper, onion, green chili, tomatillos and cilantro and cook until softened
- Add taco seasoning mix, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer, shutting off burner after 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl beat vegetable shortening on low speed until fluffy.
- In a separate mixing bowl whisk masa harina flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
- Add chicken broth and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
- Beat flour mixture into vegetable shortening until the dough is combined. It may still have a few lumps, but that's normal.
- In a round casserole dish spread half of the masa harina dough in the bottom.
- Layer turkey filling mixture on top of that and sprinkle with monterey jack cheese.
- Top with remainder of masa harina dough.
- Place casserole dish in 9 x 13 baking dish and fill with water 1/2 way up the casserole dish.
- Cover with foil and bake for 55 minutes.
- Remove foil and turn oven temperature up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 10 minutes until top of crust just starts to turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and garnish with monterey jack cheese and torn cilantro.
