BAKED TURKEY WITH SPICY SAUCE

Turkey was never part of my life until I came to the U.S for the first time many many moons ago. It was amazing to me to see such a big bird sitting in the middle of the table waiting to be carved. Well, actually I won’t say that the whole idea was new to me because I grew up with food like roasted whole duck, roasted whole pig and things like that. It’s just that a bird that size is uncommon in Asia.

This recipe (and one more turkey recipe) I shared were my mom’s recipes. She made this two years ago when I just gave birth to my little girl. They are not the traditional Thanksgiving turkey recipe as you can see. So, we did have an Asian-style Thanksgiving meal 🙂

Here was the first version my mom made, with a little hint of spicyness 🙂 We love them. This recipe works on chicken and quails too 😉
