  When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 425°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

  In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, herbs, and a pinch of sugar and whisk until well combined.

  Remove the giblets from turkey cavity and save to make stock or for another use. Pat the turkey dry with a paper towel.

  Rub the turkey evenly with the herb mayo, making sure to cover all areas including the wings, legs, and breasts. Generously season the turkey with salt and pepper, including inside the cavity. Place fresh sprigs of rosemary and/or thyme in the cavity, if desired, then truss the wings and legs using kitchen twine.

  Insert the probe into the thickest part of the turkey breast. Place the turkey directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and roast for 30-45 minutes, or until the skin turns golden in color.
