MIAMI, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- LECHE. Amor por lo verdadero invites you to enjoy these family moments that spark joy in our lives and make us thankful for what we have. Try something different this Thanksgiving and create a delicious Turkey with Salsa Suiza that will bring some Latin flavors to a traditional recipe.
Salsa Suiza is a very traditional Mexican specialty. It's a light green, milk or cream-based sauce, such as béchamel, but mildly spicy. Legend has it that the "Swiss" appellation comes from the use of cream, cheese and milk, which recall the Swiss Alps. It's a perfect companion for the traditional turkey this Holiday season, bringing some Mexican flavor to your table.
Real milk is nutritious and comforting and helps us embrace our Latin cuisine; and this holiday it will also help your turkey be tastier and creamier. Enjoy this recipe from Chef Claudette.
