What’s your favorite dish at a typical Thanksgiving gathering?

Is it the cranberry sauce that comes out of a can and then manages to still resemble that same can once it’s wiggling on a plate? Perhaps it’s the stuffing or dressing that floats your gravy boat. What if your favorites were packed into one incredible bite?

The fan-favorite and Thanksgiving-inspired Turkey and Cranberry Tamales are back on the menu at Tucson Tamale Company (for a limited time), 7286 N. Oracle Rd.

HEADS UP: Unlike previous years, the Turkey and Cranberry Tamales are only available at the market on Oracle Road as opposed to being available for purchase online.

“Really, it’s just turkey, cranberry, stuffing… it’s Thanksgiving in one bite,” said Todd Martin, co-owner of Tucson Tamale Company.
