Directions:
Rinse turkey and pat dry, reserving giblets and neck. Let turkey stand at room temperature one hour to air-dry the skin before roasting.

Meanwhile, position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Trim 1/4" from top of 3 garlic heads to expose cloves, then place heads on a sheet of foil. Spoon oil over garlic, then wrap tightly in foil to enclose. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast until very soft, about 40 minutes.

Carefully unwrap garlic, let cool slightly, and squeeze pulp into a food processor. Add mayonnaise and blend until smooth.

Add the mayonnaise mixture between the skin and meat of the bird and on top of skin.
