Ingredients
1 whole 12 lb turkey, thawed
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp celery seeds
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tbsp chicken bullion
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Turkey: Remove the gizzard package from the turkey cavity. Set aside for later use or discard.

Spatchcock the Turkey: Place the turkey breast-side down on a clean work surface. Use kitchen shears to carefully cut along both sides of the backbone and remove it. Flip the turkey over, breast-side up, and press firmly on the breastbone to flatten it.

6
Coat the Turkey: Spread the herb mixture evenly over the entire turkey, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
7
Roast the Turkey: Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C) in multiple spots.
8
Rest and Serve: Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve with your favorite sides.
