I made this recipe last year and it was absolutely wonderful, we had friends in and it received rave reviews. I think it is time to make it again and I'm sure the same people would love to be invited to dinner.

Oh my gosh! This was THE best turkey in THE entire world! I made it for Thanksgiving, and my grandma, who DETESTS turkey asked for seconds! The Cuban flavor is delicious! Only problem? No leftovers for kids next day! So good! The ingredients sound strange, but give the turkey sooo much flavor! A CERTAIN KEEPER! I added a tad more wine, because the turkey seemed exeptionaly dry at first, along with a little more orange juice. Very good

We loved this turkey recipe! I always like to try new versions of the classic holiday foods, and this was a great experiment. We had a 21lb turkey, so I doubled a bit of the sauce ingredients (wine, OJ) and I always use a bit more of seasonings. Honestly I used a cheap white wine, Cheninm Blanc. The turkey went great with Sweet Corn Cake. We had a TON of leftovers as the turkey was just for two, but it tasted great and the gravy I made out of the drippings was flavorful and spicy.

I have made this recipe for the past two years. I made one adjustment this year since my guest are not dry white wine drinkers. I used a bottle of Honey Mead instead. The Mead was an orange blossom honey base which went so much better with the orange juice. Last year the turkey was great, this year with the adjusted wine, it was wonderful!!!! Another suggestion is to marinate it for 2 days in the frig. I put everything into a kitchen garbage bag (non scented of course)and put it into the frig two days before the big day. The flavors soak into the bird and the meat is tender and juicy......and I do not like turkey!!!

This is the 2nd year I've used this for my turkey and it's fabulous. The only thing I've done is change the wine each year to a fruity wine instead of the dry white wine simply becuase it's my preference but there is no difference in how fabulous it is. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

I tried this basting receipe for the first time and it was outstanding. I am still getting rave reviews. You deserve the 10k award and I can think of no better way to honor your Mother. Thank you for the tasty butterball bird!

This is a mild marinade. With that said it was very yummy. I had a free range turkey and the marinade blended nicely. I have added it to my Thanksgiving menu... it'll be served again next year! The only thing I'll do differently is marinade the bird in a roasting bag.
