Rub for turkey

looking for a rub for turkey

[Smokin Mike]

2 TBS Kosher salt
1 TBS Garlic powder
1 TBS Onion powder
1 tsp ground thyme
1 tsp Rubbed sage
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Black pepper

It seems like a simple rub but it rocks. Rub it under the skin and sprinkle the remainder on the skin... it'll give the bird a nice color. Don't go crazy... a little goes a long way.

I usually use Tony Chachere's, but I just smoked 3 and only used Salt and Pepper (I was out of TC). They turned out great, IMO.

I personally feel that the brine adds a lot more to the turkey than the rub. I now just use a simple brine of 1 cup salt to every 4 quarts water. That said, I do add some rub for those that like to eat the skin. I just use a Jerk Rub that I get from Monterey Bay Spice Company, but you could use something like Emmeril's Essence or Seasoned Salt. Baste later in the cooking with butter.

Smokin' Okie's Holiday brine.
Tony Chachere's on the skin. Once applied lightly smear it around so it doesn't cake.
A little poultry seasoning in the cavity along with some apple and orange wedges.
This yields a wonderful Holiday bird.
