This herbed mayonnaise roasted turkey is the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table. Full of orange, sage, rosemary, and thyme it's super moist and totally easy!
Remove giblets from the inside of the turkey and add turkey to your roasting pan.
Using a paper towel lightly dry off the turkey skin.
In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, orange zest, rosemary, thyme, sage, and orange juice.
Rub the mayonnaise mixture over the entire turkey and inside the cavity. I use my hands for this job because it is the easiest way to coat the entire turkey.
Sprinkle the turkey with kosher salt and pepper.
Stuff the cavity with orange wedges and any remaining fresh herbs you might have.
If you're using a popup timer simply place it into the meaty part of the breast. Press down into the turkey until the timer is flush with the skin.
Add turkey to the oven and cook for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Lower temperature to 350 degrees F and cook until timer pops up or internal temperature is 180 degrees F.
If the top of your turkey gets too browned while cooking simply tent it with foil for a bit then remove the foil to continue browning until fully cooked.
Let your turkey rest for at least 30 minutes (I usually let mine rest for about an hour) then carve and enjoy!
