Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the turkey dry before applying the chipotle mayonnaise mixture. This will help the skin crisp up during roasting.
• If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add more chipotle peppers to the mayonnaise mixture.
• To ensure the turkey cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Insert it into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.
• Letting the turkey rest before carving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and moist turkey.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover turkey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• To reheat the turkey, place it in a baking dish, cover with foil, and heat in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) until warmed through.
• Serve the Chipotle Mayonnaise-Roasted Turkey with your favorite Thanksgiving sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
