Categories     turkey     Bake     Dinner

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ground turkey
Salt
1/4 cup chili powder, divided
3 cups salsa
2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies
2 16-ounce cans pinto beans, undrained (mash 1 can of the beans)
2 2.25-ounce cans sliced black olives, drained
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 tsps. salt
2 cups (8 ounces) grated sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat two 12-inch ovenproof skillets or a large, heavy roasting pan (at least 14-by-10 inches) over two burners set at medium-high heat. Add turkey, lightly season with salt and cook, stirring, until it loses its raw color. Stir in 3 Tbs. of the chili powder, then the salsa, green chilies, beans, olives and 1/2 cup cilantro; simmer for about 5 minutes. (Meat can be made two days ahead; reheat before proceeding.) Bring 6 cups of water, cornmeal, remaining 1 Tb. chili powder and 2 tsps. of salt to boil in a large pot, whisking frequently, until mixture thickens to mush consistency (like grits). Pour mush over hot meat mixture, spreading with a spatula to completely cover. Sprinkle with cheese and remaining cilantro. Adjust oven rack to middle position and turn on broiler. Broil tamale pie (s) until cheese melts and mush gets crusty, about 5 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes; serve.

I'm not a big fan of tamales, but I really enjoyed this pie. The crust was flaky and the filling was flavorful.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The crust on this pie was a little soggy. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

Yum! This is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe. I used ground chicken instead of turkey and it was still very flavorful.

This turkey tamale pie was a hit with my family! The flavors were amazing and the crust was perfectly crispy. I'll definitely be making this again.
