Turkey Tamale Pie image

Even if your turkey is perfectly cooked, the reheated leftovers can be a little dry and uninteresting. This tamale pie will rescue the last remnants of your bird in a significantly more exciting and flavorful way than the usual soup. There are two basic types of tamale pie, one with a cornbread topping and the other with traditional masa dough. Here, I wanted to create something that gives us the best of both, and I was very happy with how this came out. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro if desired.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 poblano peppers, diced
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
3 cups diced cooked turkey, or more to taste
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 (15.5 ounce) jar red enchilada sauce
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 ¼ cups cornmeal
¾ cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and a large pinch of salt. Saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and poblano peppers. Season with black pepper, cumin, and oregano. Cook and stir until peppers start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add chipotles and adobo sauce. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
  • Add turkey and half the Cheddar cheese to the pepper mixture. Add enchilada sauce, remaining salt, and chicken broth. Stir mixture and pour it into a 9x12-inch baking dish; place dish over a sheet pan to catch drippings.
  • Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, and kosher salt together in a large bowl. Add eggs and milk; whisk into a thin batter. Ladle batter over the turkey mixture. Scatter remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is browned and a toothpick comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would recommend it to others, but I would suggest using less chili powder.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cornbread crust didn't turn out right. It was too dry and crumbly.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough spices.
