• Transfer to a bowl and cover chiles with boiling-hot water, then soak until softened, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast spices in a small heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Drain chiles, discarding liquid, and purée in a blender with spices, garlic, herbs, vinegar, water, oil, and 2 teaspoon salt until very smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside 1/2 cup adobo for gravy.
• Marinate turkey: Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt evenly in turkey cavities and all over skin, then rub remaining adobo (a scant 3/4 cup) all over turkey, including cavities. Fold neck skin under body, then tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks together with string. Transfer to rack in roasting pan and marinate, covered with plastic wrap and chilled, at least 8 hours and up to 24.
• Roast turkey: Let turkey stand, covered, at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third.
• Add 1 cup water to pan and roast turkey 1 hour.
• Brush turkey with oil and add remaining cup water, then tent loosely with foil and rotate pan.
