  *    There should be enough corn husks to line a 10-dia. springform pan.
  *** Turkey Breast should be cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse corn
  husks and remove silk; cover husks with warm water and let stand until
  softened, at least 2 hours.  Prepare Almond Red Sauce.  Mix 1/2 cup of the
  sauce and the remaining ingredients except the Tamale Dough and sour cream;
  reserve.  Prepare tamale dough; reserve.  Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Drain
  corn husks; pat dry.  Line greased springform pan, 10 X 3-inches, with corn
  husks, extending pointed ends of husks over the side of the pan. Spread
  half of the Tamale Dough over the husks on the bottom of the pan; cover
  with turkey mixture.  Spread remaining dough over turkey mixture up to the
  edge of the pan.  Cover the top of the pan with a piece of heavy-duty
  aluminum foil, 15 inches long, shaping down over the side of the pan, (The
  pointed ends of the corn husks will bend down against the outside of the
  pan).  Bake until dough is set and slightly dry, about 1 1/2 hours
  Carefully remove the side of the pan.  Serve with remaining warm Almond Red
  Sauce and the sour cream. TAMALE DOUGH: Beat all the ingredients in a large
  bowl, with an electric mixer, on low speed, scraping constantly, until well
  blended.  Beat on medium speed for an additional minute.
