Lechong Turkey with Bringhe
$75.00
“Lechong Turkey” (often stylized as “Lechon Turkey” or “Turkey Lechon”) is a festive Filipino-American fusion dish that reimagines the classic Thanksgiving roast turkey through a Pinoy lens. It’s essentially a whole turkey roasted or grilled lechon-style—crispy-skinned, herb-stuffed, and brined for juiciness—infused with tropical flavors like lemongrass, garlic, soy sauce, and star anise to mimic the iconic lechon baboy (roast pig). Paired with Bringhe, a vibrant, turmeric-laced glutinous rice pilaf akin to Filipino paella, it creates a complete holiday spread that’s rich, aromatic, and communal. This combo shines during Noche Buena, Thanksgiving, or fiestas, blending Western tradition with Southeast Asian flair.
