I occasionally boil a hog shoulder and pull the meat to use in other dishes. I came up with a recipe for pulled pork tamales that may not be a typical tamale but still fits the bill in terms of ingredients and comforting comfort food. There is no reason why you couldn’t use ground beef or chicken in place of the pork.

Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained and divided
- 1 pound ground turkey

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
