Whatâs 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 itâs wiggling on a plate? Perhaps itâs 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.
âReally, itâs just turkey, cranberry, stuffing⊠itâs Thanksgiving in one bite,â said Todd Martin, co-owner of Tucson Tamale Company.

More about MattAt 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 wasnât his first love. Mattâs 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 â 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 storyâs 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 âfluffierâ 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 youâre in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case youâre curious â yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
