- 2 tbsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ground onion powder
- 1 tsp minced dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika

Notes
-
The turkey seasoning dry rub recipe can be used on any part of the turkey. You can use it in air fryers, ovens, or grills.
-
Table salt is much stronger than sea salt or kosher salt, and the recipe will taste too salty if you replace it with these salts.
-
If you wish to make a sugar-free version, substitute golden erythritol, golden monk fruit, or coconut sugar for the brown sugar.
-
Buy spices in small quantities from the bulk section of the grocery store rather than purchasing entire bottles of each spice. This will save you a great deal of money.
-
Slather olive oil on the turkey before applying the smoked turkey rub to help it stick to the meat.
-
Apply the rub at least 2 hours before smoking for the best flavor.
-
Always add dry rub beneath and on top of the skin.
