Servings: 8 tablespoons
Calories: 15kcal
Cost: $4
Ingredients
- 2 TBS Paprika
- 1 TBS Coarse Salt
- 1 TBS Black Pepper
- 1 TBS Dried Thyme
- 1 TBS Dried Rosemary
- 1 TBS Garlic Powder
- 1 TBS Onion Powder
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small-medium mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined.
- Store in a sealed jar or container in a cool, dry area for up to 3 months.
Notes
- If you would like to skip the paprika, you can, as it’s mostly to give a nice color to the finished turkey. With the paprika, you’ll get a nice dark, almost rust color, but will get more of a deep golden color if you remove it. It’s totally up to you.
- For the best results with this rub, cover the entire turkey well with the mixture and then let it rest for about 30 minutes before taking the next steps in the cooking process. You can cook right away, but that flavor will have a bit longer to sink in. If you can get the rub up under the skin, that’s even better.
- This amount should cover 1-2 whole turkeys, depending on the size.
