I don't want to turn this into a debate :) BUT while turkey is eaten in Portugal occasionally, and occasionally there is some stuffing inserted into a piece of meat (poultry, pork or beef) *stuffed turkeys* are not "traditional". There is NO traditional turkey stuffing recipe that was "brought over" from the Azores or mainland Portugal, what there are are American stuffing recipes that have been modified by Portuguese-Americans in the East and West coast to include "Portuguese" ingredients and seasonings.
Coincidentally, linguiça and chouriço do not have the prominence in every day meals in the Azores that they are given in the East coast. They're an occasional food. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mnk" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: "Tony Rodrigues" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 11:32:30 AM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Stuffing My parents were from Sao Miguel, and yes my mother made stuffing , recheio in Portuguese. I believe they used it on the islands to stuff roast chickens, but they did at one time raise turkeys on the farm in Salga. Pretty sure they ate them too!
