Directions
Moist and Tender Turkey (Or Turkey Breast), PLEASE READ this regarding TEMP & TIME! There is no right temperature If you roast it at 250F it will just take longer to cook than at 325F (Just like picking High or Low on a crock-pot) I cannot tell you exactly how long it will take It depends on what type of oven you have & how warm/cold your turkey is when you put it in the oven You HAVE to use an instant read thermometer to know when it is cooked (I roast my 18-20 lbs fresh turkey at 250F It took about 4 hours to reach the correct temperature in my old convection oven It took 5 hours in my new one ) Because of the mayo, the skin is crisp and flavorful and the meat is tender, moist and delicious If you don’t use the butter & broth, you will not have enough pan drippings to make gravy I’ve also added 1/2 cup of beer or wine to the mixture before & it was also spectacular With slow roasting it, the meat stays so juicy I’ve actually had it squirt out when I insert the thermometer! I’ve never had a better turkey , Do you cover the turkey with foil when baking?, Do you cover the turkey with foil when baking?

(you'll Usually Need 2-3 Tbls) Mix Well to Dissolve. Stir Cornstarch Mixture Into Broth and Stir Until Thickened. Add Salt and Pepper to Taste.
