Mayonnaise Roasted Turkey Breast

Looking for a new way to prepare your Thanksgiving turkey? Mayonnaise Roasted Turkey Breast cooks up wonderfully moist and tender every time and it is so easy.

Mayonnaise Roasted Turkey Breast

No brine, only an handful of ingredients, including a secret ingredient, are needed to make this delicious holiday turkey.

Don’t worry, there’s no mayonnaise flavor. The mayonnaise just helps create really, really moist turkey meat.

This recipe works for a smaller Thanksgiving meal or for when you just want to have a little turkey for club sandwiches. Some people only cook turkey on Thanksgiving, but I love turkey so I cook turkey breasts throughout the year. Not only does roasted turkey make awesome sandwiches, it makes a great addition to casseroles and soups.

The turkey isn’t brined but it is rubbed with a spice mixture and refrigerated for a few hours. Or you can do this step a day in advance.
