Turkey Tamale Pie Slow Cooker Recipe

Do you ever find a recipe in your rotation and for the life of you, have no clue how it got there? I have a Crock Pot recipe for Turkey Tamale Pie and just don’t know where I came across it. Usually, I write down the source just in case I need to give credit where it’s due somewhere down the line. I did a quick search and couldn’t find the exact recipe that I use although I make modifications to mine so that makes it that much harder to locate the source. I did locate a few that are similar – this one from Ingrid Hoffman being the closest.
