Description

Our delicious Smoked Turkey Rub recipe is super easy to make and brings all the best flavor to any cut of turkey!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add ingredients to a small bowl; stir to combine.
  2. Coat the outside of the turkey with this dry rub and smoke – we love this Smoked Turkey Breast recipe and our Smoked Turkey recipe! 

Notes

  • Prep: highly recommend patting the turkey dry and then add a drizzle of olive oil or softened butter before seasoning with this dry rub.
  • Marinade: we love pairing this dry rub with our Turkey Marinade or Turkey Injection – such a good combo!
  • Pellet/Wood Chip: love using hickory or apple wood chips with smoked turkey recipes. 
  • Gravy: Don’t forget to collect the drippings and follow our tutorial on how to make smoked turkey gravy!
