This unusual stuffing for your holiday bird is from Karen Felician of Maraval. Turkeys, imported from the United States, have become highly popular fare for Christmas and Easter in Trinidad & Tobago. This recipe makes enough stuffing for a 15-pound turkey.

  2. Cut the chataignes in half and dig out the seeds. Peel the seeds and set aside. Cut the chataigne flesh into chunks and place in the bowl of a food processor with the peeled seeds, green seasoning, and Maggi seasoning. Pul
