A Latina Thanksgiving Dinner

I often like to take dishes and put a latin spin on them.

My mom’s turkey stuffing, which is delectable and I try to make it the same way, includes chayote and sazon. This Thanksgiving I found some fantastic recipes to help spread this idea and I’d like to share those with you:

Adobo Turkey with Red-Chile Gravy via Epicurious

Pumpkin-Coconut Pie via Latina

Turkey with Southwest Stuffing (*Not my mom’s recipe, I’m keeping that a secret)
