Turkey Rub Recipe (Turkey Seasoning)
Description
The Turkey Rub Recipe combines a mix of classic seasoning herbs and spices ideal for a whole turkey around 12 to 15 pounds. The salt and smoked paprika form the base, offering seasoning and a mild smoky note. Onion and garlic powders add savory depth, while dried thyme, rosemary, and sage contribute earthy, herbal tones characteristic of traditional turkey seasoning. Black pepper adds subtle spice, and cayenne pepper is optional to introduce a gentle heat.
After rinsing and drying the turkey, the rub is massaged thoroughly into the skin and into the cavity to penetrate flavors during cooking. The recipe allows for additional oil or butter under the skin as desired to help seasonings adhere and promote browning. The rub complements roasting, grilling, or smoking methods.
