The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and delicious food. If you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your holiday poultry dish, try making a spice rub. Spice rubs are a flavorful blend of spices, herbs, and sometimes other ingredients, such as sugar or salt, rubbed onto the meat before cooking. They can help to create a crispy, flavorful crust on the outside of the poultry while keeping the inside moist and juicy. Whether you prefer a traditional or more unique spice rub, there is a recipe out there to suit your taste.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Mix all of the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl.
- Put the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Generously season the turkey cavity with salt and pepper, to taste. Brush the turkey with olive oil, and rub it with the seasoning mixture. Tie the legs together loosely to hold their shape, and tuck the wing tips under.
- Roast the turkey until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165 to 170 degrees F, about 3 hours.
- Transfer the turkey to a platter. Tent it very loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes (the internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees). Reserve the juices in the pan.
- Gravy: Scrape the juices and browned bits from the roasting pan into a large glass measuring cup. Spoon off the fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. If necessary, add enough stock to the juices to measure 1 2/3 cups.
- Heat the reserved 2 tablespoons fat in a heavy, large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and shallots, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the flour and whisk until golden, about 4 minutes. Add the degreased pan juices, and the 2 cups stock. Bring to a boil, whisking until smooth. Reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy is reduced to the desired consistency, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the lemon juice, and the sour cream. Season the gravy with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the gravy into a serving bowl. Carve the turkey and arrange it on a serving platter. Serve the turkey with the gravy.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Loosen skin on chicken or turkey and rub between skin and meat.
- Store in a tightly covered jar.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will give your rub the most flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
- Toast your spices. Toasting your spices will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic. To toast your spices, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Once the spices are fragrant, remove them from the skillet and let them cool.
- Grind your own spices. Grinding your own spices will give you the freshest and most flavorful rub. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle.
- Use a variety of spices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The more spices you use, the more complex and flavorful your rub will be.
- Don't overdo it. A little rub goes a long way. Use only enough rub to coat the poultry evenly. If you use too much rub, the poultry will be too salty.
Conclusion:
A good holiday spice rub can make all the difference in the flavor of your poultry. By following these tips, you can create a rub that will give your poultry a delicious and festive flavor. So next time you're cooking poultry for a holiday meal, be sure to give it a try.
