Mexican Thanksgiving Recipes

Thanksgiving in nuestra familia is all about gathering around the table, giving thanks, and sharing our favorite dishes with a little Mexican flair. Whether you’re planning a traditional feast or looking for something different, these Mexican Thanksgiving Recipes bring together comforting holiday classics and the flavors we love.

For the centerpiece, try my Pavo Enchilado (Mexican Roast Turkey), a beautiful roasted turkey infused with homemade red chile sauce and coated with apricot butter. It’s a festive recipe straight from my award-winning cookbook, Muy Bueno Fiestas.

Round out your Thanksgiving table with favorites like Pumpkin Spice Tamales, my mom’s famous Mexican-Style Thanksgiving Stuffing, Empanadas de Camote, Rajas con Crema, and Calabacitas con Elote. Each dish brings a little extra sabor to the holiday table.

And don’t forget the leftovers! Shredded turkey makes a delicious substitute for chicken in recipes like Chicken Mole or Chicken Enchiladas.
