This recipe offers a flavorful and juicy turkey with a crispy skin, perfect for any festive occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the turkey in a roasting pan.
Using a roasting rack can help the turkey cook evenly.
Melt the butter and mix it with the chicken broth.
Warm the mixture gently to avoid burning the butter.
Pour the butter and broth mixture over the turkey.
Ensure the mixture covers the turkey evenly for consistent flavor.
Rub the mayonnaise all over the turkey's exterior.
This helps achieve a golden, crispy skin.
Season the turkey lightly with salt and pepper.
Adjust seasoning to your taste preferences.
Roast the turkey in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.
Check the temperature in the thickest part of the turkey for accuracy.
Increase the oven temperature to 350°F for the last 30 minutes to crisp the skin.
Keep an eye on the turkey to prevent over-browning.
Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist meat.
