Thanksgiving Traditional Mexican Molé Sauce and Turkey Molé sauce and turkey have been a Southwestern/Mexican Thanksgiving tradition for many years. My daughter’s girlfriend, Mica Chavez, is a famous Santa Fe, New Mexico Chef and shares her recipe for molé which has been in her family for over 100 years. Mica has cooked for four US presidents and one Mexican president. If you want to do something a little different for Thanksgiving, I can’t recommend this enough. It’s just the best! Bon appétit and happy Thanksgiving.
