How to Make Dry Rub For Roast Turkey

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until evenly distributed.
