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

This recipe is a waste of time. The turkey was tough and the mojo sauce was flavorless.

This recipe was a disaster. The turkey was overcooked and the mojo sauce was bland.
