I got this recipe from one of Steve Raichlen’s first cookbooks…an awesome, overlooked cookbook. (for the uninitiated, Steve has a written a series of cookbooks for grill enthusiasts. They remain some of the premier grill books on the market.)

An All Purpose, Impress Your In-Laws, Get Promoted, and Win the Adoration of Thousands Rub (my name for it)
3 Parts Kosher Salt
1 Part White Pepper Seeds
1 Part Cumin Seeds
1 Part Granulated Garlic
Roast pepper, cumin and kosher salt in dry skillet until smoking. Cool. Add garlic and then pulverize in food processor. It becomes a powder.
I have used this dry seasoning on pork, chicken and steak. It is terrific. Although I have no scientific data, I do think it would be absolutely delicious on a turkey. Different but delicious.
I like using a simple lime juice and olive oil marinade prior to applying this rub. The cumin is really distinct…
