Wash and clean the turkey using vinegar.

Prepare the marinade sauce by measuring out all green and powder seasonings.

Add 1 cup of water to the blender.

Cut the onion and add it to the blender along with green onion, oregano leaves, thyme, and garlic.

Add the measured powder seasonings and 1 tbsp of Browning to the blender.

Blend until the mixture is well combined and has a good color.

Cut the turkey in half, removing unnecessary parts for broth if desired.

Place the turkey halves in a bowl and pour the marinade sauce over them, massaging it into the meat.

Create pockets in the legs and wings with a knife for better seasoning absorption.

Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 24 hours to marinate.

Remove the turkey from the fridge and take off the aluminum foil.

Place the turkey halves into a pot, adding the remaining marinade sauce and a couple of cups of water, ensuring it doesn't cover the turkey completely.

Bring the pot to a boil on high heat for 10 minutes.

Check the turkey, flipping it over to ensure even cooking.

Baste the legs and prepare stuffing using the liquid from the pot.

Shut off the stove and transfer the turkey to the barbecue grill.

Grill the turkey for 45 minutes, checking periodically.

Dip the turkey in sauce after flipping it over, waiting 2 minutes before the next dip.

Cover the turkey in sauce and check for doneness.

Remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board before slicing.
