Dinner Holiday Latin Fusion Mexican Recipes Thanksgiving

Smoked Citrus Turkey Breast

A whole smoked turkey breasts on a cutting board. Next to it you will see a bottle of the citrus seasoning used to season the turkey. Its called Spanglish Asadero, citrus.
Smoked Citrus Turkey Breast

I love anything cooked low and slow. This smoked citrus turkey is just that. Here’s a quick story on how I chose the amazing seasoning I used to smoke this turkey. My husband was scrolling through his Instagram feed a few weeks ago and saw an advertisement for a spice line called Spanglish Asadero. What stood out to him first was the very creative packaging, followed by the name. How creative! Since he knows how much I love to try new seasonings, he sent me the link to the website. I loved all the flavors they offered and ordered 6 of them to try.

After receiving them, I asked my followers for help in choosing one for my smoked turkey breast and the winner was Citrus! I was very excited because that would have been my choice too. Once I knew which one I was using, I decided to try it out for the first time on camera along with my followers and well, Citrus did not disappoint! I was very confident that Citrus alone was going to be perfect and it was.

What type of wood chips should i use?

I used Hickory wood chips for this recipe because I wanted a smokier flavor but you can also use apple for a sweeter smokey taste or cherry for more of a tart smoke. I love the Western BBQ Smoking Wood Chips. I highly recommend them.

What type of smoker should I use?

I am all for modern technology and love to use one that is electric. I find it easier to clean and to use. Basically fool proof for someone like me who is not a big time smoker. A year ago I bought my Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker and have really enjoyed cooking so many recipes in it not worried one bit that I am overcooking or not doing the smoking process correctly. So if you ask me, this is a great way to go.

How long should I smoke a turkey breast for?

My turkey breast was about 9 lbs and I smoked it for 4 hours at 250º degrees. It was perfectly cooked and moist. Size will absolutely determine the smoking time. Internal temperature should read 160º degrees.

How do I make my turkey gravy?

My electric smoker has a pan at the bottom that you add water to that helps keep what you smoke moist. That pan catches all the drippings. Reserve that. Here is the link to my Turkey Gravy made from pan drippings. I use this method for all my turkey gravies.

I also want to share with you my other turkey recipes! All of them are great choices and have amazing flavor.

This week, we start with "Revoltillo de Huevos con Tomates", in English it translates to Dominican "Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes". Sooo good, it's crazy! 😋

These softly scrambled eggs with juicy tomatoes are perfect when combined with boiled/mashed plantains or even bread, (any of the two work!). So, if you're looking for a delicious meal to cook for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you'll never go wrong with this one. Easy and fast to make!

LATIN RICE BALLS A big thank you once again to my LATIN RICE BALLS
A big thank you once again to my awesome aunt Ines for sharing this recipe with me to share with you!
Here she uses Latin Queso De Freir (frying cheese) along with the mozzarella. This Queso de freir is very popular in Latin America because it fries beautifully. The flavor isn't too bold and the texture is nice and gooey.

When I decided that I would blog as a career, just When I decided that I would blog as a career, just over 2 years ago, I honestly thought follower numbers mattered. That if I had a certain number, that would make my blog considered successful.

I understand today that success can't be measured in numbers. I define it very differently today. Success to me now is knowing that I am bringing value to someone's life. That I am building relationships, not just with my audience but also with others that are doing what I am doing. I try my best to always support other bloggers/video content creators, because my true belief is that my only competition is myself.

I feel such warmth in my heart and joy when a follower/viewer lets me know they made a recipe of mine and that it was delicious. Even better, when they say it reminded them of their mother's or grandmother's and that now they can make them too, this for my Dominican ones.

I want to continue to bring value to you so if there is anything you would like to see me make, it doesn't have to be Dominican or even Latin, let me know and I will go for it!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, it keeps me going.

I always stress about whether I should share more I always stress about whether I should share more about my life. I wish I was more relaxed about it. I always think people don't want to hear it and that all that matters is my cooking. But this is 99% of me, of who I am as an individual today and I think it's important for you to know me as I am and what we go through as special needs family, of course, with no dramatics.
My youngest, 11 yr old non-verbal autistic, has been falling asleep everywhere. At one point ending up in the ER because he was so out of it he couldn't be woken up, another time fainting. A couple of months later, and many tests later, we landed on a diagnosis of sleep apnea. Better than seizures or narcolepsy for sure so we feel good about it. The next step was removing the tonsils (adenoids were removed at 2 yrs old). 
It's been a rough few months but we have tried super hard to look at the positive and this moment is one of them. That being said, here is a video of our oldest making sure his brother is happy and calm by stroking his hair and tending to him whenever he can after getting his tonsils out on Friday. Our little guy sure is a lucky boy. 🥰
