Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Combine diced onions, green onions, garlic, habanero peppers, fresh and dried thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, and in a blender or in large cup if you are using an immersion blender. Add lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Blend until smooth.
  3. 3 Place turkey breasts into a large bowl, splay it open, and pour marinade all over the turkey. Flip and toss turkey breast a number of times until it is evenly covered in marinade. Press plastic wrap over the turkey and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4, up to 12 hours.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Transfer the turkey into a roasting pan and tie together with cooking twine. Add sliced onions underneath and around the turkey. Season with salt.
  5. 5 Roast turkey in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes longer
  6. 6 Loosely tent with foil and let rest for about 20 minutes. Snip off the strings and serve.
