I tried this recipe and loved it! The final outcome was a tasty, smoky moist turkey. My entire family really loved it. There are two things that I would do different next time. I had a 22 lb. turkey and the mustart/onion/garlic marinade was way too much even for my larger turkey. So I would make less marinade. Also, because the recipe calls for cooking uncovered from the start, my turkey started to brown / burn too early. I corrected this by lightly covering it after the first 1/2 hour with aluminum foil. Otherwise it was fabulous and we are still enjoying leftovers!

After reading the reviews we almost didn't use this recipe. Am I ever glad we did! We dried the bird well, then put the marinade under the skin, coated the inside, and smeared it all over the outside. The only thing we added was a generous amount of salt and pepper inside and out. It was the juiciest, most flavorfull bird we ever made. Don't forget the Malta bath.

Well, I don't know what to make of this one. This turkey was completely tasteless in the inside and the outside wasn't any better, nice color, but no flavor. This is one of those recipies that some in the hispanic community uses for marinating turkey, like using orange juice or something like that with no salt. If you really want a flavor with an autentic hispanic or caribbean flavor try the "PAVOCHON." The key to getting a flavorful turkey is by seasoning at least three days ahead of roasting time, breast side down, in the refrigerator.

As for the meat stuffing, with intalian sauge it just doesn't make sense having meat on meat.calling hispanic, when the sausage speaks italian! You should try the plantain and/or yucca MOFONGO stuffing (all this recipies are available by googling it. Now you are talking about a genuine hispanic flavors. This recipe was just a wannabe hispanic twist to the Thanksgiving meal, hispanic style. By the way, mustard is not hispanic seasoning, but German.
