Description

Turkey Seasoning – a simple, classic turkey seasoning recipe that is perfect, no matter how you are cooking your turkey!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 23 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in a small bowl; Stir to combine. 
  2. Pat turkey dry with clean paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil or avocado oil – alternatively you can rub all over with softened butter. Season generously with the homemade turkey rub (including under the skin where you are able). 
  3. Use in your favorite turkey recipes – we love this Smoked Turkey Recipe or Grilled Turkey!

Notes

  • Salt: I wouldn’t recommend using table salt here – stick to kosher salt, otherwise your turkey might be too salty. 
  • Storage: feel free to make a double or triple batch – you can store this seasoning in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 3 months!
  • Turkey Drippings/Pan Juices: don’t forget to use your pan juices that are leftover from your turkey to make homemade turkey gravy!
  • Turkey Leftovers: got some leftover turkey don’t forget to make some Turkey + Wild Rice Soup, some Turkey Salad or a Turkey Cranberry Wrap!
