Thanksgiving: How to make a turkey extra juicy & crispy – plus top side dishes.
Blue Plate Mayo is the South’s best-kept Thanksgiving secret for a turkey that’s juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Mix your desired seasoning into some Blue Plate Mayonnaise and slather it on the turkey, and it will stay in place as the turkey roasts, sealing in all the flavors and juices and delivering an extra crispy crust. But it doesn’t stop there: use Blue Plate Mayo to add rich ‘n creamy flavor to your favorite sides, too. Check out our Turkey Day favorites here for inspiration. That’s the good stuff!
