    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?

    Done

    to Make Gravy: Pour Pan Drippings Into a Saucepan and Bring to a Simmer Over Medium Heat. Add 1 Tbls. Cornstarch Per Cup of Broth/Drippings to 1/4 Cup Cold Water. (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. If Too Thin, Dissolve More Cornstarch in Water and Add Until Desired Thickness. If Too Thick, Add Water or More Broth to Thin.
