TURKEY SEASONING RECIPE | CHEFDEHOME.COM
Turkey Seasoning, mix of delightful herbs and spices which alone can brighten-up flavor of Turkey Roast or any Meat Roast you plan to make this holiday season. Also sharing important time saving tips, and easy steps to get full flavor, best tasting roasted turkey.
Today, feeling of approaching holiday season and herbs in my garden inspired me to share this Turkey Rub recipe. In late fall, most of our herb plants die due to frost. So, I often freeze dry, oven dry, or cook with most of my herbs. This works and align perfectly with recipes post on blog. Like, today, can there be a better time for a Turkey Seasoning recipe?! You can use this recipe and make-ahead now. One thing off the holiday prep list. You are welcome. :-)
Honestly, my little herb garden saves me ton of money and provides so much culinary inspiration. Like Parsley for Tabbouleh, Thyme for Za'atar Chicken and Oregano from Chicken Souvlaki all were from herb garden. One other herb-blend that is very helpful in roasting Poultry is today's Turkey Seasoning Rub.
My turkey rub is blend of two flavors - dry spice rub and herbs. All herbs in this rub recipe are fresh from my garden and spices from Mccormick. (can't beat the quality if spices Mccormick offers.)
a) Dry Rub: Dry rub for turkey is blend of 6 quintessential spices can be easily assembled way ahead of time to cook the bird. This minimize the effort and trips to market near thanksgiving. If you believe in testing the recipe before making for big dinner? I recommend making a double batch. Use one to roast a chicken. I'm certain you will love the flavors. Keep the second to roast the turkey.
b) Herbs: Herbs rub can used fresh or dried. If using dried, you mix it with the dry rub. However, I highly recommend the fresh herbs. It will create flavorful turkey roast with those herbaceous and spiced turkey drippings. Perfect for an amazing gravy. (hint hint)
Note: You can also roast turkey with only Herb Rub with salt and black pepper. Or only Dry Rub.
c) Oil, Butter and Fresh Garlic: As I suggest in recipe, mix the dry rub and herbs with oil and butter to make a paste. This will make dry rub or herbs stick better on bird and resulting roasted dripping are extra flavorful.
Then make sure to apply seasoning paste:
1) Under the skin.
2) Massage on the skin.
3) Inside the cavity.
In complete recipe, I also recommend using fresh garlic, fresh onion along with dried onion and garlic in dry rub. This might sound like lot of garlic but trust me, the blend of fresh and dried adds good amount of flavor to roasting turkey.
It sounds like bit of effort to get all ingredients together but the result Turkey Roast is sensational delicious.
To save time:
1) Make Ahead Dry rub up-to 2 months in advance. Now is the perfect time.
2) Chop fresh herbs and mix with 2 tbsp oil. Refrigerate in right lid container 2 days in advance.
3) Prepare (marinate) thawed turkey in prepared turkey seasoning a day in advance.
On big dinner day. Simply take out of refrigerator, prepare as desired.
Don't forget to pin this recipe. Grab all ingredients and make-ahead dry rub. (One important thing off the holiday list.)

- Check the main turkey cavity for the bag of giblets, and if they’re in there, remove and tip them into your roasting tray, discarding the bag. The added flavour they’ll give your gravy will be incredible – trust me.
- Peel the onions, wash the carrots and roughly chop with the celery, then add to the tray with the unpeeled garlic cloves.
- Halve the clementine and chilli and place in the turkey cavity with most of the herbs – not filling it too full allows hot air to circulate, cooking the bird from the inside out and from the outside in.
- Place the stuffing in the neck cavity (click here for my meat stuffing recipe, or you could use any veggie stuffing), then pull the skin back over it and tuck it under the bird. You’ll get a good contrast between the soft, juicy stuffing here inside the turkey, and the crispier stuff you can bake in a dish, as well.
- Scrunch and warm the butter in your hands so it’s soft enough to spread all over the bird, getting into all the nooks and crannies. The butter layer serves two purposes – natural basting, plus keeping the seasoning away from the meat until it hits the oven, so the bird stays nice and juicy. The butter will melt off as it cooks, adding to the flavour of the gravy, and you’ll also be able to skim off that tasty fat and save it in a jar in the fridge for delicious cooking another day.
- Generously sprinkle the turkey from all sides with sea salt and black pepper, pick over the remaining herb leaves and pat them on to the butter, then finely grate over a nice coating of nutmeg.
- Cover the turkey snugly with tin foil and place it on top of the trivet in the tray. You can now either leave it for 1 hour until the bird comes up to room temperature, ready to cook, or pop it into the fridge or another cold place until you need it.
- Have a clear down, and your prep is done. Click here for how to cook your bird...
