This is the way turkey is prepared in Puerto Rico, where it is seasoned the same way a pork shoulder is. It is called pavochon , which translates literally as turkeypork , due to its distinctive flavor. It is also served during the Holidays as an alternative to pork. Ingredients:

1 garlic clove, minced |
1 peppercorn |
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon salt |

1/2 teaspoon white vinegar or 1/2 teaspoon lime juice |
