2nd turkey? No problem, Sinaloa grilled street turkey
Options
long story, but ended up with a second bird so marinated one in @The Cen-Tex Smoker citrus achiote marinade http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1188884/achiote-citrus-marinated-chicken-with-tomatillo-salsa
I had to scale up for a turkey and didn't add enough achiote (ran a wee bit short), so the color wasn't quite as deep. I spatched the turkey then separated the legs and thighs from the breast and wings. I added a package of three legs as well. The marinade didn't penetrate into the breast too much, but all of the dark meat is money.
I roasted this at 325 raised for a while and then cranked up the heat to 425 as it neared the finish line to crisp the skin. I made the tomatillo salsa in his post and it's fantastic - I used dried guajillo, ancho, arbol and chipotle. Lots of heat, so maybe dial down the dried chipotles next time.

Wow! Nicely done, ese!They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin
