How to cook deliciously - Tamale Pies

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make filling: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches, brown turkey, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

2 . Stage

Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet. Cook onion, jalapeño, and cumin, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes; season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Return turkey to pan; stir in tomatoes and corn until combined.

3 . Stage

Make cornmeal crust: Whisk cornmeal with 1 1/2 cups cold water. In a medium sauce pan, bring 2 1/2 cups water, salt, and pepper to a boil. Gradually stir in cornmeal mixture. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring often, until very thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted.

4 . Stage

Pour 1/8 of the crust (1/4 cup) into the bottom of each of eight 10- to 12-ounce ramekins. Smooth tops with a spoon; cool 5 minutes. Top each with turkey filling, dividing evenly; sprinkle with cheese.

5 . Stage

Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until filling is bubbling and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
