The turkey in the Christmas dinner can not miss, prepare this incredible turkey with a shepherd's marinade, very typical of the tacos in Mexico, with wide chile, guajillo chili, achiote, pineapple juice and spices. This turkey is stuffed with pork, with pineapple in syrup and cilantro. It is a fantastic idea to change the typical turkey of each year.

200 grams of achiote for shepherd sauce
