Sweet and Spicy Turkey Rub

Sweet and Spicy Turkey Rub

This dry rub recipe is an adaptation of a cajun rub recipe I came across. It reduces the salt and replaces it with brown sugar and a couple more savory spices. It is good for a 12- to 16-pound turkey and should also work well with chicken and pork.

    Made as written and I was super impressed with this. I was a little worried that there might be too much heat but it was absolutely perfect. I will be making this again and I cannot wait to try it on chicken next. Thanks for sharing!
