- ¼ cup paprika
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder

Place all the ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.
Rub the spice mixture all over your turkey, as well as under the skin, then cook as desired.
- This full recipe works well for an 8-10 pound turkey or two 4-pound chickens.
- Recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to suit a larger bird. I used the rub on turkey wings with great results!
- Spice rub can be made up to 2 months in advance. Store in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry place.
