Step 2: Season the turkey
Turkey components
- mayonnaise50 g
- salt
- black pepper
- spatchcocked turkey
Using a liberal amount of salt (seriously, a full handful), sprinkle and rub it all over the front and back of the turkey, covering all the nooks and crannies. Now, do the same with your freshly ground pepper.
Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and put the turkey on top of the rack to promote better airflow while cooking. Rub a thin layer of plain mayo all over the legs and breast to ensure even browning.
