1: The day before, prepare the marinade. Mash the garlic and salt to a paste in a mortar and pestle. Pound in the cumin, oregano, pepper, cilantro, and last of all, the sour orange juice. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, puree the ingredients in a blender.

2: Remove the giblets and any lumps of fat from the front and main cavities of the turkey. Season the inside with salt and pepper. Loosen the turkey skin from the meat, working carefully so as not to tear the skin. Add ¼ cup of the marinade to the main cavity and 1 tablespoon to the front cavity. Stand the turkey upright in a deep bowl and pour the remaining adobo under the skin. Work over a roasting pan to catch any runoff from the marinade. Transfer the turkey to a large container or jumbo plastic bag with any excess marinade. Marinate the turkey overnight in the refrigerator, turning it several times to marinate evenly.

3: Set up your grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. If using a gas grill, place the chips in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch. Run the grill on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium. If using a charcoal grill, toss half the wood chips on the coals.

4: Place the turkey on the grate away from the fire. Indirect grill until cooked, 2-1/2 to 3 hours. (Use an instant-read thermometer to test for doneness—the turkey is ready when the thigh meat is 170 degrees.) If using a charcoal grill, replenish the coals and wood chips every hour. The last hour, start basting the outside of the turkey with melted butter. (If the skin starts to brown too much, tent the bird with foil.)

5: If using a smoker, preheat it to 250 degrees. You’ll need to cook the bird about 3-1/2 to 4 hours. (Know, however, that the skin will not crisp at this temperature. You may want to transfer the bird to a 350-degree grill—or even the oven—for the last hour of cooking.)

6: Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving and serving with the Mojo de Ajo.
