Turkey Tamale Pie

 Left over Turkey?  Here is something tasty!

Turkey Tamale Pie


3 cups cooked turkey
2 cups peeled, sliced tomatoes
1/3 cup chopped green chili
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
                                                      1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed black beans
1 packet (6.5 oz) Better Crocker cornbread & Muffin Mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon sliced scallions
1  tablespoon chopped cilantro
extra shredded cheese and sour cream to garnish

Preheat oven to 375.  Combine turkey, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and beans in a skillet and bring to simmer.  Cook for about 10 minutes.

Pour mixture into oil sprayed 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

Mix cornbread mix, shredded cheese, egg, milk, scallions, and cilantro.  mix until well combined.  Smooth cornbread mixture on top of the turkey mixture and place in the oven until cornbread is browned,  about 35 minutes.

Serve with sour cream and extra cheese.

This really is a keeper recipe!  The only thing I would do differently next time is add 1/2 cup frozen corn and 1/2 cup sliced olives to the turkey mixture.  Flavor wise is awesome!
