Favorite Turkey Rub

RagingIrishman

What is everyone’s favorite turkey rub?  I usually do just S&P but this year I thought I would be a little more adventitious. This turkey will be for our little family gathering next weekend as on the official holiday we go to SWMBO’s parents. I would use the tub to dust the bird and also make a compound butter to put under the skin.

I’ve really been enjoying VooDoo from Meat Church but thought that might just be a little bit too much heat for a turkey. The smoke will be pecan. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

My wife will only let me do Mickey's coffee rub on our Thanksgiving spatchcock turkey. I'm sure there are a lot of good answers to this question, but this works for us.

+1 with Mickey's rub.

I really like the Dizzy Pig "Mad Max" turkey rub.  

But, I may try @Mickey Coffee Rub on one of my birds this year.  I am doing two.

If you do the coffee rub this or any one similar works just fine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve done coffee rubs on beef but never turkey so we’ll give it a try.

I have always had good luck with Dizzy Pig Mad Max

i start a few days ahead with a dry brine, dont rinse before cooking. this is what i follow and it works great, simply putting a rub on doesnt do it justice

X2 on Deez Nuts.  Great flavor and color.

I'm a big fan of 'Four 41 South Honeysuckle Dust'.  It's usually use that with chunks of either hickory or pecan.
