Category: Marinades, Rubs & Dressings
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder


1. Stir together kosher salt, brown sugar, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
2. To ensure that the meat absorbs as much of the turkey rub’s flavor as possible, thaw your turkey two days before Thanksgiving, and then rub it evenly with this rub mixture THE DAY BEFORE Thanksgiving. Leave the turkey uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. This time and the dryness of the refrigerator draw out the moisture in the turkey and infuse it with the flavor of the spices before being reabsorbed by the bird. This is a foolproof step for a flavorful turkey with crisp skin.
