Instructions

Heat the butter over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the diced onions, crushed garlic, achiote, cumin and salt. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the ground beef, chorizo and bacon. Stir well and cook for about 10-12 minutes.
Add the raisins, diced apple, walnuts, olives, cinnamon, nutmeg, herbs, and sweet wine. Cook for about 10 minutes. Remove the herb sprigs from the mix.
Mix in the bread crumbs and eggs, stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the white wine or chicken broth and mix well.
Put the stuffing in a baking pan, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350F for about 30 minutes.
You can also use the stuffing to fill the turkey; you will likely have a good amount leftover that can be baked in a separate pan as indicated above.
