Pavochon is the star of almost every Puerto Rican Thanksgiving table. The name of the dish is a combination of two words – pavo, meaning turkey, and lechon, referring to roasted suckling pig. To conclude, pavochon is essentially a turkey that is seasoned and cooked like roasted pork. The turkey is usually stuffed with mofongo (a combination of pork rinds, garlic, plantains, and peppers), but the stuffing can also be served on the side. It is recommended to pair pavochon with gravy, avocados, or arroz con gandules.
