Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound, lean ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 chipotle chiles, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, from can chipotle in adobo
1 cup grated Cheddar
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 (8.5-ounce) package cornbread mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Grease an 8-inch baking dish with the butter and set it aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, the onions, green peppers, and garlic and cook until the turkey is no longer pink and is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat and sprinkle the meat mixture with the cumin.
  • Add the beans, tomatoes, chiles and adobo sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and stir in the cheese and cilantro.
  • Spread the turkey mixture in the prepared baking dish, pressing down on it with the back of a spoon to make an even, compact layer.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and corn. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can make your own by blending 2 dried chipotle peppers with 1/4 cup of adobo sauce.
  • If you like your tamale pie spicy, add an extra can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • To make the tamale pie ahead of time, assemble it and bake it according to the recipe instructions. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the tamale pie in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until it's heated through.
