Directions


1

  • Place the poblano chiles in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let sit for 10
    minutes.

  • Place chiles in a colander to drain.

  • When cool enough to handle, cut the stems off and remove any seeds.

  • Put in blender.

  • Add lime and orange juices, garlic, onion and salt.

  • Blend until smooth.
  • Save 3/4 to 1 cup of this sauce and put it in the
    refrigerator.

  • Rub turkey with remaining sauce, place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Allow this to
    marinate for at least 2 hours.

  • If grilling, preheat the grill to medium heat.

  • Grill, covered, until a thermometer reaches 165° (1-1 1/2 hours) or roast in an oven
    covered at 400° for 1 hour and 20 minutes. These times are approximate depending on size of
    turkey.
  • Transfer to a cutting board, let sit for 15 minutes before slicing.

  • Serve with sauce on the side.
