Title: Turkey Rubs
Post by: zueth on November 14, 2012, 10:10:55 AM
With Thanksgivign coming up, I am starting to think about what Rub I want to do on my Turkey.

Would like to hear what other have used for Rubs? I am thinking Jan's Rub this year.

In the past I have used the rub with love turkey rub and it was very good.

I will be doing EVOO massage and then a rub of 2 Tbs my rub recipe (http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=30373.msg359522.msg#359522 (http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=30373.msg359522.msg#359522)) and 1 Tbs poultry seasoning. I'm then going to do a bacon weave over the bird because my mother in law specifically requested it.

When it comes to my Thanksgiving turkey, I like to stick with the traditional flavors of the northeast.

This simple rub is surprisingly good:

Last Thanksgiving I used this Rub With Love Turkey Rub (http://www.amazon.com/Rub-With-Love-Turkey-3-5000-Ounce/dp/B0049T6PXY).  It tasted pretty good and I'm going to use it again.

Anybody now if the sugar in the Jan's rub will cause the skin to burn when cooking in SRG?

I've never had a problem with it.

Although not necessarily "traditional" for Thanksgiving, I've also have had success with a Cajun rub and with the rub from Saveur.com's Chile-Rubbed Roast Turkey (http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Chile-Rubbed-Roast-Turkey).

Thanks, yes the rub with love that I used, had those more traditional flavors.

I have done the Cajun seasoning before when deep frying a bird and it always turned out good.  Never have done it when smoking.  This is what I used.

Have you done it before, how did you like the result.
