The turkey tasted great with this rub. I rubbed it under the skin then poured a pot of boiling water over it so the skin would shrink up on the turkey and seal it in, then pat dried the outside and rubbed the rest on. I put on a bed of thickly sliced onions and put a can of chicken broth in the bottom. I also basted it twice in the last hour. The turkey was about 7 lbs and it took about 3 1/2 hrs to cook all the way through!

This is an awesome recipe! My mother in law actually ate it! It is very juicy, easy to make, and worth every bit of effort.

This smelled so good while cooking. I love the combination of the spices and it made the gravy fantastic. I made twice baked potaoes and sprinkled the dry rub on the potatoes. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will be making this agian.

The first time I made this, I halved the recipe because it was for only two. Neither my husband nor I are huge roasted poultry fans, and this was absolutely delicious! This year was the first time I hosted Thanksgiving and I decided to use this dry rub mix and made enough for 20 people. I used Uncle Bills cooking method, but injected melted butter mixed with this dry rub into the turkey first and then used the olive oil and lime juice on the outside with tons of the rub. The gravy that this maked is unbeatable in flavor. (I would use cornstach instead of flour next time.) No one has ever seen so much turkey eaten in one sitting! It was actually as popular as the mashed potatoes (unheard of in my starch crazed family.) The smell that filled my house was amazing. I think the cumin was key! Thank you so much for this recipe. It is the greatest ever!

Absolutely an outstanding gravy and turkey!! Even though DH does not like cumin I did include it, and he thought it was great and wants this turkey again. I made a half batch of the dry rub b/c my turkey half was four and quarter pounds, and put all the dry rub on at the beginning of the recipe. I had the turkey half in the oven for 90 minutes. Thank you Ridgely for a a super keeper.

Review is only for dry rub! I used this dry rub to season Beer Can Chicken and it was absolutely fabulous! Just the right amount of spice and flavor!

I WISH, WISH, WISH there were more than 5 stars for this recipe! I had half a turkey breast that was on sale and was looking for something to do with it. As I didn't have any limes, I omitted the lime/olive oil rubdown, but I mixed the dry rub ingredients with about 4 Tbsp of butter and greased up the breast. Oh MY! So, so, SO delicious! I used all the drippings for the gravy and wound up eating extra potatoes and more turkey JUST to eat more gravy! Thank you SO much!

Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention ? We have here a " Winner, Winner Turkey Dinner I made this recipe on 6/15/09 for mine and SO's Linner ( a combo of lunch/dinner ).I just used the part of the recipe for the dry rub. And the turkey breast was done to perfection in 2 1/2 hours. I used the drippings fron this recipe to make Kittencal's Easy No-Fail Make Anytime Turkey Gravy. And everything was so good, just the right amount of spiciness. I bet this rub method would be great on a whole turkey. This will be made again. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling "

This review is for the dry rub only which is outstanding. I chose to cook my turkey breast on a rotisserie using this dry rub and it was moist and very flavorful. Thank you Ridgely for sharing the recipe.
