Buck Tradition With Turkey Al Pastor
Buck Tradition With Turkey Al Pastor
November 12, 2025
This Thanksgiving, put a spicy, flavorful spin on the classic roast turkey with Turkey Al Pastor. Juicy roast turkey and caramelized pineapple meet a bold, smoky marinade. You can serve it the traditional way, or chop the dark and white meat together for tacos piled with pineapple, cilantro, and onions. Easy to prep and full of flavor, Turkey Al Pastor just might become your new Thanksgiving tradition.

Hi Lilia! Thanks for your comment. We don’t have a traditional stuffing on hand, but you can use our cornbread recipe below to make your own. If you’d like, you can also try this tamal stuffing recipe.

I quartered the marinade recipe and made the best tofu tacos al pastor (grilled on a cast iron griddle in the oven with some ripe pineapple) on homemade corn tortillas with a little salsa guacamole to complement. YUM.
This sound delicious, we are having turkey tacos this year🤗 can’t wait to taste it😋😋
Do you have a recipe for turkey stuffing that would go well with pineapple or the Al pastor seasoning?
Perhaps using Masienda corn flour to make cornbread?
Thank you
I just might have to make this! I typically spatchcock poultry so that it cooks evenly and more quickly but I think this would still work. Every year on the day after Thanksgiving we host and I typically make tamales but I might have to make this instead!
