INGREDIENTS
thawed turkey 12-14 pounds
6 tablespoons coarse sea salt
3 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
Add extras:
Whole cloves, cumin seeds and/or peppercorns
Ground chile powder, smoked paprika and/or nutmeg
Fresh rosemary, bay leaves and/or thyme
Crushed garlic cloves and/or citrus peels
Method:
Toast whole spices in a dry skillet, crush coarsely and mix with ground spices.
Combine spices with salt and sugar — sugar will help with browning.
Rub turkey generously with spice mixture, inside and out.
Refrigerate uncovered for about 24 hours — at least 1 hour per pound.
