Ingredients
  

  • Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil
  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 2 cups corn bread cooked & crumbled
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced
  • 1 cup queso fresco crumbled
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 tbsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Place 4 ounces of ground turkey on a sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty foil. It should be about 16 inches long. Using a fork, mash down the meat gently so it is uniform and about half an inch thick.
  • Top the meat with 1/4 cup corn bread, 2 tbsp of salsa, 2 tbsp queso fresco, 2 tbsp bell peppers, and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Tightly fold the sides of the foil packet so that the seam is on top and the liquid will not leak out.
  • Repeat the process until you’ve used all the ingredients to create more turkey tamale foil packets.
  • Place the packets directly in a preheated 350 degree oven or on a preheated grill that has been heated to medium-high (approximately 350 degrees). Cook for about 20 minutes or until the meat is thoroughly cooked.
  • Remove the foil packets from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Carefully open and serve hot.
