TAMALE PIE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch deep skillet over medium heat (cast iron, stainless steel, or oven-safe nonstick). Once hot, add the ground turkey and onion. Sauté, breaking up the turkey, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the turkey is mostly cooked and the onion is turning translucent.
- Add the bell pepper and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, and salt and stir to completely combine.
- Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chiles, and corn. Stir and cook just until bubbly.
- Taste for seasoning. Turn off the heat and set aside while you make the topping.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
- Add the chicken broth and use an electric mixer to beat for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy. Alternatively, beat with a wooden spoon.
- Add the melted butter and egg and beat for 2 more minutes until well combined. The mixture should resemble creamy mashed potatoes-if it is too stiff, add another splash or two of broth. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese and mix just to combine.
- Spread the cooked filling out in the skillet into an even layer. Top with 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Top with large dollops of the masa topping, then use a rubber spatula to gently spread into an even layer, spreading almost to the edge.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is very bubbly, the topping is pale golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center of the masa comes out clean. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
