Instructions
- Cut up the veggies into chunks and season them with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Assemble them throughout the baking pan, leaving space in the center to nestle the turkey.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, remaining salt, remaining pepper, and pressed garlic together.
- Using poultry shears, remove the backbone from the turkey.
- Carefully, pull the turkey skin away from the flesh in several different sections across the bird.
- Spread the marinade underneath the skin generously.
- Roast the turkey at 400°F for 60 minutes. Then, turn the heat down to 350°F and bake the turkey for another 2 hours. Remove the turkey from the oven and cover it with foil or a lid. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before carving into it!
