In Oaxaca, turkey was on the table long before Thanksgiving was. So every November, we cook ours the way we know best: en barbacoa.
Our Thanksgiving Turkey Leg Package is back at Guelaguetza. Perfect for a small family, it comes fully cooked, and all you do is pick it up on Thanksgiving Day.

What's in the package
2 Piernas de Pavo en Barbacoa. Two turkey legs, brined and baked in our signature barbacoa sauce made of roasted guajillos and avocado leaves.
Espagueti Verde. Green spaghetti in a poblano and cream sauce. Same recipe our mom has served our family for decades. Need a vegan version? Tell us in the order notes.
Papa Istmeña. Isthmus-style baked potato purée, made with carrots, seasonal vegetables, rich cream and mayo.
Flan de Calabaza. Pumpkin flan, for the pie people and the flan people at the same table.
Pasta de Frijol, Pan, and Chiles en Vinagre. A vegetarian black bean purée made with heirloom black beans from Oaxaca, fresh baked bread and pickled chiles, so everyone can build a torta with the leftovers. If there are any.

Why we do this every year
Our parents opened Guelaguetza in 1994 to cook the food of Oaxaca for Los Angeles. Thanksgiving is one more day we get to do that, this time at your table instead of ours.
From our family to yours: buen provecho, and happy Thanksgiving.
