Do you love a crisp-golden exterior to your turkey? Here is a foodie tip from the pros!
Rub your turkey with mayo before roasting. It adheres to the bird better and creates a stunning crisp-golden exterior. But don't just use any mayo. Make your own simple olive oil based mayo that is deserving of that lovely bird.
2 large egg yolks
1 tsp fresh lemon or lime juice
½ tsp salt
1
In a microwave safe bowl, whisk the egg yolks with two tablespoons warm water.
2
Microwave on medium for a minute, or until the mixture is heated to 160F. on an instant read thermometer.
3
Add to a food processor or blender the heated egg yolk mixture, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt.
4
Process until well-blended. With motor running, slowly pour in olive oil in steady stream until mixture thickens.
5
Serve immediately or refrigerate.
6
Rub mayonnaise mixture all over outside and interior of bird prior to roasting.
7
Season with additional salt, pepper, and or herb mixture. Enjoy!
