Thanksgiving Turkey Rubs and Brines
Thanksgiving might be weeks away, but your turkey deserves some early love. Choosing the right spices now isn’t just smart — it’s strategic.The right blend can turn a good bird into a great one, and planning ahead means you’ll actually have time to relax and enjoy the big day. Whether you’re a traditionalist, a flavor explorer, or somewhere in between, here are the spices that’ll make for an unforgettable turkey. Poultry Rub This classic blend is built on a robust foundation of Sage, Thyme, Marjoram, and Rosemary, with refreshing touches of Black Pepper, Garlic, Onion, and Celery. The best choice for familiar flavors with a fresh, vibrant twist. Northwest Forest Brine Northwest Forest Brine leads with Juniper, imparting distinctive pine and citrus notes, beautifully complemented by Fennel, Green Pepper, and Allspice. Designed to be used as a wet or dry brine, it infuses rich, aromatic flavor into your bird. Fin & Feather BBQ Rub Make your turkey the talk of the table with Fin & Feather. It balances classic barbecue rub flavors (Paprika, Black Pepper, and Garlic) with traditional poultry spices (Onion, Lemon Peel, Sage, and Marjoram). Ras El Hanout Craving something unexpected? Ras El Hanout is just the ticket. This 24-ingredient blend layers your turkey with fragrant warmth, bold spice, and a touch of sweetness, creating a bird that’s rich, complex, and totally unique. Turkey Tips: Spice With Confidence Plan Ahead: Rub your turkey with spices a few hours before roasting — or better yet, the night before — so the flavors really sink in. Early prep = stress-free holiday. Get Under the Skin: Gently lift the skin over the breast and rub in some seasoning. That’s where the magic happens. Don’t Skimp: And go for even coverage — legs, cavity, wings — a little love everywhere ensures every bite sings. Keep It Dry: Pat the bird dry before rubbing. Moisture is the enemy of crispy, flavorful skin. Sneak a Taste: Cooking a turkey is serious business, but sampling a tiny nibble of seasoned meat while it cooks? Totally allowed. Consider it quality control. Curious about brining? Stay tuned — next week, we’ll talk more about brines. Shop our collection of rubs and brines.
