Fennel Spice Rub for Turkey (Michael Chiarello) image

I make this every year for our turkey! It is so potent when you've first ground it, but don't worry, since once it's cooked you're left with a wonderfully spiced turkey (but nothing unusually flavored). People will not be able to pick out the spices, but will comment how great the turkey tastes. It makes the best gravy. It is so dark and rich with a great savory taste. Second time I brined turkey and it was super moist, although the flavor was the same when it was not brined.

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup fennel seed
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons white peppercorns (I used black peppercorns the second time)
3 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
  • Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.
  • When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool.
  • They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
  • Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt.
  • Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.
  • Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
  • Note: There's a chicken salad recipe by Michael Chiarello that uses up some of the leftover spice mix:.
  • n a large bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, celery, red onion, 6 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons Fennel Spice, and salt and pepper to taste. Taste and add more oil, lemon juice, or Fennel Spice, if desired. Add the basil and serve.

I was a bit hesitant to try this rub because I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but I'm so glad I did! The fennel flavor was very subtle and it really complemented the other spices in the rub. The turkey came out moist and flavorful, and the skin was perf

I've tried many different turkey rubs over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. The fennel and orange zest give it a really bright and citrusy flavor that pairs perfectly with the turkey. I'll definitely be making this again.
