Maria Lynn's Peruvian-Style Roasted Turkey With Pisco Gravy Recipe

For the holidays in Peru, in my family it is tradition to eat a roasted turkey, marinated with herbs, garlic and aji peppers; roasted pork shoulder or pernil with Aji Panca, Peruvian style rice with lots of garlic and peas, and a vegetable dish such cauliflower gratin. For dessert, we eat Panettone, an Italian-influenced sweet bread with fruits, very popular in Peru and hot chocolate. As far as drinks, we drink passion fruit sours, made out of Pisco and passion fruit juice. I’ll be happy to share my recipe for the turkey." — Chef Maria "Marita" Lynn, Catering by Maria.
