Won't mayonnaise just break in the oven? Wouldn't you be just as well off basting the bird in oil?

I've got a great recipe for mayo/sour cream-covered halibut or other white fish, oven-roasted. Not sure how well it holds up for a 5-hour turkey roasting, but at least for 1-1.5-hour cook times, mayo seems to hold up ok.
