Combine all marinade ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and leave to steep for 5 minutes.
Strain liquid and cool. Once marinade is near room temperature
pour over turkey in large Ziploc bags or bowl. Let turkey marinade
for a minimum of 24 hours.

Pre- heat grill on high for 10-15 minutes, sear turkey on all sides
then reduce heat to medium-low to continue cooking. Roll turkey a quarter turn every 7-10 minutes and baste with butter or oil using a basting brush or natural fiber
(clean!!!!) paintbrush.

Cook turkey to an internal temperature of 150*f-155*f which will take approximately 45 minutes to an hour. When internal temperature has been reached remove turkey and let stand for 5-7 minutes before removing strings and carving.

If you have any questions about deboning or tying the turkey please do not hesitate to email me on my facebook account.

ENJOY!!!!!!!
