Finally, here is the bird. I shouldn't say finally because the gravy is still to come. What I mean is here is my turkey, seasoned with herbs and garlic butter and stuffed with my rice, cranberries, apples, herbs and bacon stuffing. Before you ask me: I didn't put any salt because the butter that I used to make the garlic and herb butter is salted.
This is the juiciest turkey ever, so be very careful when you take it out of the bag and save all those juices for the gravy.
I hope you like my turkey and on behalf of the Mamás Latinas team I wish you a warm, full of love and good company Thanksgiving!
