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.

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.
