The turkey is the centre piece of the Christmas dinner, but for a lot of us it's our least favourite part.
The meat can be dry and hard to swallow, not matter how much gravy you smother over it.
So we will try anything to make sure the turkey remains moist and delicious while cooking.
And Food and Wine Culinary Director Justin Chapple has come up with a turkey trick that seem very unusual.
Mr Chapple claims that smothering a turkey in mayonnaise is the secret to cooking the perfect roast, MirrorOnline reports.
And he says that spreading the meat with the mayo doesn't impact the taste of the bird - so all those who hate mayonnaise can try it too.
"When you cover your turkey with mayonnaise, it bastes it during the roasting process, keeping the meat moist and tender," he explains.
He goes on to say that while you can just spoon mayonnaise on the turkey straight from the jar, he prefers to make a chipotle version - though you could add your own flavourings.
In order to make his version, he mixes one tablespoon of chopped, fresh thyme with one cup (128g) of mayonnaise, the zest of a whole lemon, three grated garlic cloves and minced chipotle chiles.
Once all these items are combined he loosens the skin on the turkey breasts and thighs, so he is able to spread the mayonnaise on the top of it and under it.
He adds: "You want to put the mayo on the outside and inside of the turkey so it gets extra juicy."
