Monday Munchies: Turkey & Cranberry Tamales at Tucson Tamale Co.

Tucson Foodie’s “Monday Munchies” articles are brought to you by NatureMed.

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.

Well, 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).

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

Right now, you can snag a 16-pack of Turkey and Cranberry Tamales for $99 online.

“We start with freshly roasted turkey, then mix in carrots, celery, and onions,” Tucson Tamale shared. “Next, we add the herbs and broth to make a flavorful gravy. We combine it all together with sweet red cranberries then mix in a touch of sage to our signature white masa.”

If you’re in the market for even more, they’re also selling Sweet Pumpkin Tamales.

There’s a Seasonal Thanksgiving Tamale Bundle, which is 12 Turkey and Cranberry Tamales paired with six Sweet Pumpkin Tamales for $99.  If you’re super hungry or feeding a large group of people, there is a 36-combo-pack for $159. Any of these can be purchased online and from the comfort of your own home, much like the convenient experience happening over at NatureMed’s online shop.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
