Stuffed Turkey with Mojo Sauce image

I love Latin food so I created this recipe that combines wonderful spices and fresh ingredients. This is a traditional turkey recipe with a healthier twist because it uses chicken sausage instead of chorizo. -Melissa Lauer, San Antonio, Texas

The turkey was a bit dry, even though I followed the recipe carefully. The sauce was good, but not enough to save the dish.

The mojo sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but the turkey itself was cooked perfectly.

This Mojo-infused turkey was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The sauce was a perfect balance of tangy, savory, and sweet, and the turkey was moist and flavorful. Even my picky uncle went back for seconds.
