Herbed Rubbed Turkey
Rubs really have a way of locking in the flavor of meats. Here a wonderful blend of seasonings makes turkey extraordinary.—Twila Burkholder, Middleburg, Pennsylvania

I gave this a try for Thanksgiving this year. It added a good flavor to the meat. With the obvious variety of spices, it is not a traditional flavor for a Thanksgiving turkey. While I will make it again it won't be for a Thanksgiving meal.
My family loved this!
The seasonings give such a wonderful aroma while baking and a wonderful taste once on the dinner table.

I made half of the rub and roasted a chicken with it. It was nothing special, just ok.
My husband loves the turkey skin and he really 'gobbled' this recipe!
I used this to season my Thanksgiving turkey, and it added a very good flavor to the turkey without being overpowering. I omitted the allspice and curry, and reduced the paprika to 1/2 tsp. and the mustard to 1/4 tsp. If I make this again, I'll use just 1 tsp. of salt rather than a Tbsp. The turkey tasted just right, but the pan drippings made the gravy very salty.
This seasoning was spectacular. I froze the leftover Turkey and used it in a soup. The flavor of the soup was wonderful. There was no need to use any additional spices in the soup.
Duchess502, a turkey is usually roasted at 325 degrees. I think the recipe is saying to use a standard recipe for roasting a turkey {ie with more detailed instructions) but add the rub.
I would avoid the curry and allspice. It' destroys the American taste of the turkey.
