Whether or not to get up before the crack of dawn to go shopping isn’t the only question to be answered on Black Friday. If you overcooked like most Americans, you’ll also be wondering what to do with all those Thanksgiving leftovers.
There’s turkey sandwiches, of course. But admit it — that’s boring. Why not shake things up this year and opt for a taste of the sunny Southwest instead, with this easy, cheesy turkey tamale pie? It only requires one pot, and it’s the type of dish that warms you up from the inside.
This recipe can be made two ways — family style, in a large casserole or skillet, or in single-serving mini skillets. Pomegranate arils add crunch and color.
