Cooking a turkey in a bag

Turkey is an emblematic dish in many celebrations around the world, especially during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its preparation varies according to cultural traditions, but it is also very popular in Latin America, albeit with different names and adaptations in each country. For example, in Mexico it is simply known as "pavo" (turkey), while in other countries like Argentina and Colombia, it is often found on the table during end-of-year festivities. The technique of cooking turkey in a bag is a modern and practical method that has gained popularity for its ease and the juicy and flavorful result it offers.

In various Latin American countries, although turkey is not as traditional as pork or chicken, it is used on special occasions and adopts different names and preparations, but always maintaining the essence of a festive dish. Cooking it in a bag allows the moisture to be preserved and the flavors to blend better, in addition to simplifying the process and preventing the turkey from drying out as often happens with more traditional methods.
