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.

    The cornbread mixture in this is too sweet and doesn't taste good in conjunction with the meat/bean mixture. If you can find a cornbread mixture that doesn't use sugar, it might taste better. However, I make the filling in this recipe and fold it in a flour tortilla with the cheese and a little cilantro, and it makes a great burrito. I also add a little tomato paste (or you can use salsa to thicken the mean/bean mixture and give it more of a tomato-based flavor. Experiment with the chipotle seasoning as I usually add more than what's called for since it adds more flavor (and more heat.....

    Prepared this for my husband's family when they visited us at Xmas. This is really good and very easy. It makes a lot!! Added a bit more chipolte and it wasn't too spicy. Will prepare it again. I've made several of Ingrid's recipes and she hasn't disappointed me yet.
