Turkey Tamale Pie
Even if your turkey is perfectly cooked, the reheated leftovers can be dry and uninteresting. This turkey tamale pie recipe 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 masa dough. Here, I wanted to create something that gives us the best of both, and I was delighted with how this came out. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro if desired.
