whole turkey or whole chicken rub
Give that little bird, or big one, a nice massage of these herbs to make your bird taste great! In the oven or on the grill, I have had many thanks with this rub. This would also be good for Cornish Hens.

How To Make whole turkey or whole chicken rub
-
Step 1Mix ingredients in a small bowl
-
Step 2Rinse turkey; pat dry. Place turkey, breast-side up, in prepared pan. Sprinkle about half of the seasoning mixture inside of turkey. Stuff with onion and bay leaves. Brush turkey breast with oil. Spread remaining seasoning mixture over entire surface and under skin of turkey. Add 1/2 cup water to pan. Cover turkey loosely with heavy duty foil.

Step 3Roast according to package directions.
-
Step 4Note: for whole smaller chicken (3 1/2lb-4lb) I use 1/2 rub. I also cut back on salt even further, never placing more than a dash or so for flavor and I do not miss it with all the other spices. If you are watching your sodium intake, give this a whirl and will not notice the small portion of salt, if any you add... or do not add.
