Dry rub for turkey

[mjkcooking]

Looking for a dry rub for the turkey ?

Any tried and true ?

I tried a wine and butter and cheesecloth basting last year.
For me it didn't work out. So I'm looking into a dry rub

Thanks for any help

I plan on doing this, with the suggestions given by a reviewer last year (plus cutting back on the salt by half):

I have oodles of dry rubs, but since I've found Tony Chachere's seasoning products, I'd probably give them a try.

The only time I dry rub a turkey (with anything other than S&P and maybe onion & garlic granules) is when I'm going to smoke it. Are you smoking your turkey, Marye??

The recipe that I posted the link to is not smoked, but roasted. After the rub is applied, the bird is refrigerated overnight (which makes me wonder now if I will have enough room in the refrigerator for it...).

Thanks Vicki.
I am using a herb rub on the small turkey breast

And found one last night on a ssouthwest blend. Will use it on big turkey.

Yours looks good too. Will try for christmas

Will be something new Wish me luck. Haha.

Jean. Not smoking. Roasting. So will let them set 24 hours and then roast.

Happy thanksgiving everyone.
