MAYO MAGIC: THE SECRET TO JUICY THANKSGIVING TURKEY

Spice Kick Don’t worry — you’re not using only mayonnaise on your turkey. The mayo method serves as an excellent base for your choice of seasonings. You can create your own mixture before applying it to the turkey. Thyme, parsley, garlic powder, sage, cayenne, and rosemary are all great options.

The turkey undoubtedly takes center stage among the many culinary delights that grace the Thanksgiving table. While there are plenty of methods for cooking a turkey, many chefs and home cooks swear by the “mayo method” as the best way to achieve a moist and flavorful Thanksgiving turkey — here’s why! Moisture Lock One of the biggest challenges when roasting a turkey is maintaining its moisture. The mayo method involves slathering the turkey with a layer of mayonnaise before roasting. Because mayonnaise contains oil, it helps lock in moisture during cooking, resulting in a juicy and tender turkey. Flavor Infusion If you’re a mayo lover, you’ll agree it’s delicious! While it gives the turkey a subtle and rich flavor, the result doesn’t taste like mayonnaise at all! (Mayo haters can breathe a sigh of relief.) Even Browning Applying mayonnaise to the turkey creates an even and beautiful browning effect on the skin. This enhances the visual appeal and contributes a succulent and slightly crispy texture.

Simple Preparation The mayo method streamlines your preparation process — here’s what to do:

Allow your turkey to thaw. Create your custom mayonnaise by mixing it with your seasonings of choice.

• Dry the turkey with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper. • Gently separate the skin from the bird and slide in cubes of butter. • Rub the entire turkey with your mayonnaise mixture, inside and out. • Bake at 450 F for 30 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 325 F and cook for 15 minutes per pound.

This Thanksgiving, give the mayo method a whirl — you and your guests won’t be disappointed!

Personal Injury

option to receive the compensation you deserve.

Why do I need a police report after a car accident? A police report is considered a significant form of evidence after an accident. When an insurance adjuster decides whether to approve or deny your claim, they will examine the police report. You can receive your report by contacting your local police department.

Workers’ Compensation

Why can medical treatments be denied? When receiving workers’ compensation, the insurance company will control what doctor you see and what treatments they will reimburse. However, if you discover they are denying treatment or refusing to pay for it, it may be because they’ve determined it’s unnecessary, you’ve received enough treatment, or the treatment does not pertain to the work-related injury. What do I do if an adjuster won’t return my calls? Insurance companies will delay responses for as long as they can. Their system is designed to discourage you and reduce the number of claims they must handle. If your workers’ compensation insurance company ignores your calls or emails, you need an attorney who can aggressively bridge the gap for you.

What do I tell/not tell an insurance adjuster?

When speaking with insurance adjusters, you should be incredibly cautious. Their job is to pay you as little as possible. So, you should always refrain from saying anything incriminating, such as admitting fault, dismissing injuries or pain, and so on. Simply give them the facts and nothing else. Why shouldn’t I take the first offer? As we said, they will try to offer the lowest compensation possible.
