(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 12, 2013 ) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- With Thanksgiving fast approaching busy cooks all over the country are starting to think about how they're going to serve the Thanksgiving turkey this year. A plain roast turkey is the obvious classic but adding some simple ingredients with a rub can really bring the flavours alive for a truly memorable Thanksgiving meal.
These ideas for turkey rubs are simple but very effective and will make a huge difference to a plain bird.
Traditional holiday rub: 2 teaspoons each of dried rosemary, dried thyme and salt, 1 teaspoon each of dried sage and ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Caribbean island rub: 1 tablespoon each of onion powder and paprika, 2 teaspoons of crushed mustard seeds, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons each of garlic powder and crushed black pepper, 1 teaspoon each of ground ginger and salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground allspice.
Herb rub: 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 tablespoon each of white wine, balsamic vinegar and Worcester sauce, 4 teaspoons each of fresh thyme, minced onion, minced garlic and fresh rosemary, 2 teaspoons of salt.
For all of these rubs, put the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush the turkey with olive oil, mix the rub ingredients in a bowl and rub onto the turkey. For added flavour push some of the rub under the turkey skin.
It's important to get the quantities of the ingredients right in all of these rubs so the flavours are balanced and don't overpower the rest of the meal. Using high quality measuring spoons takes the guesswork out of Thanksgiving cooking and helps ensure great results.
