We have tamales as do many Texans at Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are mostly pork sometimes chicken. I suppose you could make tamales from turkey as well but I have never seen any. There is a traditional Mexican Christmas dinner turkey mole which has one of the strangest sauces (mole) ever. Maybe that was the idea behind the turkey tamales. Some like Alabama's oyster dressing would be at home on the whole Gulf coast but probably not served in Birmingham or other northern Alabama regions. The pecan pie would grace southern tables alongside pumpkin, mince and apple.
