grilled - Tequila Lime Turkey

12-14 pound turkey, giblets removed
1 cup Tequila
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
2-4 cloves garlic, minced finely
3 Tablespoons Olive oil
whole fresh lime

Use pit BBQ or place a pan in the bottom of your bbq grill to catch the drips.
Remove backbone from turkey and crack the breast bone so that turkey will
lay flat on the grill.
Mix next 3 ingredients and marinate turkey several hours or overnight.
Remove turkey from marinade, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Place on grill- not directly on top of coals- breast side up.
Cut whole lime in half, squeeze over turkey to baste every 20 minutes.
Replace coals to keep temperature at 350-375.
Turkey is done when thermometer reads 165.
Tent with foil and let set for 15 minutes before carving.
Makes 6 servings.
