No and Yes. No, you cannot use a foreign marriage license to get married in New York, However, in case you are asking if a marriage CERTIFICATE from Turks and Caicos is legal in New York, then the answer is YES. New York State recognizes marriages from other jurisdictions as long as the marriage is legal in the place it was performed. The marriage would only be invalid if it violated "public policy", such as if it were incestuous or polygamous.
If the marriage was legal in every other way then the answer is yes. However, it would help to know your wife's current age and how long you have been married. In some states the marriage may be voidable if one of the spouses challenges it. If you have questions about the validity of your marriage you should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law.

Marriage is a legal status. The state allows clergy to perform marriages as long as the parties have obtained a civil marriage license and it's signed by the officiating clergy. That is the only way marriage is "recognized' in the United States. No one can possibly know what "god recognizes".
In Florida you would need a 2-14 or 2-15 license.
