Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp sweet or hot paprika
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt if not used in dry brine
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper if not used in dry brine
  • ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together 1 tbsp sweet or hot paprika, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 2 tsp dried rosemary or thyme, and 1 tsp dry mustard.
  • If you skip the brining process, add 2 tbsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  • Brush turkey all over with 1/4 cup olive oil or 1/4 cup melted butter, and sprinkle all over and inside with dry rub. Your turkey will brown more readily if you’re using a spice rub, so expect some light yet delicious charring.
