TURKEY SEASONING
Turkey Seasoning, mix of delightful herbs and spices which alone can brighten-up flavor of Turkey Roast or any Meat Roast you plan to make this holiday season. Also sharing important time saving tips, and easy steps to get full flavor, best tasting roasted turkey. Today, feeling of approaching holiday season and herbs in my garden inspired me to share this Turkey Rub recipe. In late fall, most of our herb plants die due to frost. So, I often freeze dry, oven dry, or cook with most of my herbs. This works and align perfectly with recipes post on blog. Like, today, can there be a better time for a Turkey Seasoning recipe?! You can use this recipe and make-ahead now. One thing off the holiday prep list. You are welcome. :-)Honestly, my little herb garden saves me ton of money and provides so much culinary inspiration. Like Parsley for Tabbouleh, Thyme for Za'atar Chicken and Oregano from Chicken Souvlaki all were from herb garden. One other herb-blend that is very helpful in roasting Poultry is today's Turkey Seasoning Rub. My turkey rub is blend of two flavors - dry spice rub and herbs. All herbs in this rub recipe are fresh from my garden and spices from Mccormick. (can't beat the quality if spices Mccormick offers.) a) Dry Rub: Dry rub for turkey is blend of 6 quintessential spices can be easily assembled way ahead of time to cook the bird. This minimize the effort and trips to market near thanksgiving. If you believe in testing the recipe before making for big dinner? I recommend making a double batch. Use one to roast a chicken. I'm certain you will love the flavors. Keep the second to roast the turkey. b) Herbs: Herbs rub can used fresh or dried. If using dried, you mix it with the dry rub. However, I highly recommend the fresh herbs. It will create flavorful turkey roast with those herbaceous and spiced turkey drippings. Perfect for an amazing gravy. (hint hint)Note: You can also roast turkey with only Herb Rub with salt and black pepper. Or only Dry Rub. c) Oil, Butter and Fresh Garlic: As I suggest in recipe, mix the dry rub and herbs with oil and butter to make a paste. This will make dry rub or herbs stick better on bird and resulting roasted dripping are extra flavorful. Then make sure to apply seasoning paste:1) Under the skin.2) Massage on the skin.3) Inside the cavity.In complete recipe, I also recommend using fresh garlic, fresh onion along with dried onion and garlic in dry rub. This might sound like lot of garlic but trust me, the blend of fresh and dried adds good amount of flavor to roasting turkey. It sounds like bit of effort to get all ingredients together but the result Turkey Roast is sensational delicious.To save time:1) Make Ahead Dry rub up-to 2 months in advance. Now is the perfect time.2) Chop fresh herbs and mix with 2 tbsp oil. Refrigerate in right lid container 2 days in advance.3) Prepare (marinate) thawed turkey in prepared turkey seasoning a day in advance. On big dinner day. Simply take out of refrigerator, prepare as desired. Don't forget to pin this recipe. Grab all ingredients and make-ahead dry rub. (One important thing off the holiday list.)Enjoy! -Savita x

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.
