Pavochn Recipe

Roasting a turkey for thanksgiving in the manner of lechn (suckling pig) has been a tradition in puerto rico since the island became an american commonwealth and adopted the holiday. The word pavochn is a combination of the spanish word for turkey, pavo, and the word lechn. On the spanish-speaking caribbean islands, the meat of choice for the holidays is roasted suckling pork. So it only makes sense to combine the tradition of the islands with an american tradition and serve turkey that is reminiscent of roasted pork for thanksgiving. This flavorful recipe will go over well with the most discriminating of tastes.
