Drain any excess water from the defrosted turkey before cutting.

Cut down the breast and remove the wings, legs, and thighs carefully using a meat cleaver.

Season the turkey pieces with a liberal amount of kosher salt, black pepper, thyme, and a citrus marinade of oranges, lemon, lime, and jalapenos.

Marinate the turkey overnight to tenderize it before grilling.
