Creole Turkey Rub

By Derrick Riches, About.com

While 25 bay leaves might seem like a lot, this rub is just perfect for turkey. Especially, if you plan on deep frying it.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 25 whole bay leaves
  • 3 tablespoons Creole seasoning
  • 3 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 3 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

Preparation:

Grind bay leaves into a fine powder. Combine Creole Seasoning and other ingredients together. Divide into 3 equal parts. Rub one third on the inside of the turkey, one third over the breasts and one third over the rest of the turkey. For best results refrigerate the rubbed turkey overnight to allow the flavors to sink in.
