Ingredients
- 10 lbs fresh whole turkey or frozen whole turkey, thawed
- 1 cup Hellmann's ® Real Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Knorr ® Chicken Flavor Bouillon
- 1 large shallot or onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 (1.2 oz) envelope Knorr ® Roasted Turkey Gravy Mix, prepared according to package directions
Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°. Remove giblets from turkey cavities and rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
- Combine Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise, Knorr® Chicken Flavor Bouillon, shallots, and herbs in medium bowl; set aside. Starting at neck opening, gently loosen skin on turkey and evenly spread 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture under skin. Tie legs together with kitchen string.
- Arrange turkey, breast side up, in large shallow roasting pan with rack; rub remaining mayonnaise mixture over outside of turkey. Tent with heavy-duty aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour. Decrease oven to 350° and roast turkey 1-1½ hours. Remove foil and continue roasting, about 30 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, until thermometer inserted in thickest part of the thigh reaches 165° and skin is browned and crispy. Let stand covered loosely with foil 20 minutes before carving. Serve with hot, prepared Knorr® Roasted Turkey Gravy Mix.
Variations
Use 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, sage and/or thyme, crushed.
