recommendations for turkey rub

[James H]

Anyone have a good recommendation for a rub on a new year's day turkey smoked over apple wood?

Aaaahhhh, New Years Day, Football, and Smoked Turkey....Plus a day off tomorrow!!!!!!!

Happy New Year and thanks for your rub thoughts.

Probably late on this, but salt, peper and some dried sage should do it. Put some fresh herbs and citrus in the cavity - maybe under the skin too.

Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks Jim,

I went with some italian herbs and rosemary. I came out very nice. Smoked at 350...took about 2.5 hours. Skin was very edible and meat was tasty.

I would like to try injecting next time.

James,

My post is also a bit late but I wanted to give you the rub I put on my last turkey. It is below.

1 TBS ground mustard seeds

1 1/2 TSP. ground fennel seeds plus ½ TSP whole fennel seeds

I'm too late too, but for whoever is looking, Meathead's Simon and Garfunkel rub is awesome for poultry.

Now that this forum is open again I have made up a few batches of the Simon & Garfunkle rub. It's great with Poultry and my guess is it would make a great breakfast sausage seasoning as well.
