- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder

- 1 bunch Thai basil
- 3-4 talks lemongrass
- 1 bunch scallions

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lower the rack to the lowest position.

Most turkeys come with the drumstick tucked under a flap of skin to keep them secure. If your's didn't, tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
- Mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, ginger powder and garlic powder in a bowl. Massage over the entire bird, leaving 2 tablespoons of mayo mix for later. Then salt and pepper liberally.
- Place the turkey, breast side down, in a roasting pan on a rack. Pour two cups of water in the pan and place in the oven.

Add additional water to the pan if needed, and roast another 45-60 minutes. You want to interior temperature of the bird to reach 165 degree F in the thigh area. *If the turkey starts getting too dark on top, cover it loosely with foil. Allow the turkey to rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.
