Ingredients

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

Directions

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.

Combine the cornbread mix with milk and egg. Spread the cornbread batter over the turkey mixture and bake until the cornbread is golden-brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the tamale pie stand for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Simply Delicioso is right!!! Simple & Delicious Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely love this recipe!!! I make it using ground pork. I like it so much because it is so versatile. You can use... ground turkey, chicken, pork or beef. You can use pretty much any cheese you have on hand. I have even made it without cheese and it is just as tasty. I have also made it use black beans instead of pinto beans and added a can of corn. To add more flavor to the cornbread? mix in a small can of green chilies or for more spice extra chipotles and adobo sauce. I also add 1 Tbsp of Sazon Completa (Complete Seasoning by Badia). Gracias por una receta tremenda!!!Read more

This recipe was delicious. I put in 4 chipotle & about 4 teaspoons of the sauce, it was a bit spicy but I love spicy food so... it was perfect. I also made all of it yesterday afternoon except for the cornbread topping when dinner time came around I mixed that up put it on top & threw it in the oven...so simple...& so incredibly good!!!Read more

Unbelievable!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This smelled so good when it was cooking and I didn't think it would taste nearly as good as it smelled, but I was wrong.... This is amazing. My husband grew up in the south part of Texas and is very picky about his Mexican food. This was not disappointing to anyone. I did add a bit of salt and pepper to the turkey mixture, and used Jalapeno corn bread mixture for the top. (Don't like mine sweet). This will be on a regular rotation, for sure.Read more

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is on point. I made it last night for dinner and my b-friend tore it up. I could not find chipotle peppers so I... used chipotle bouillon cubes and they worked just fine. I will be making this again!Read more

Very Versitile!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe to customize. I substituted frozen corn for the green peppers and the texture worked out great. I... also added more salt and seasoning (fajita seasoning worked great) to give it more of a punch. Overall a great great recipe!Read more
