Cajun poultry rub

[hphilly30]

Anyone have a good Cajun poultry rub I could put to good use for a turkey this Sunday? I plan on injecting with Cajun butter, no brine and hope to avoid it being salty!

I plan on doing a Cajun Turkey for Thanksgiving and using this rub recipe I have.

Here you go:

2 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp white pepper
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp white sugar

Here is a similar rub but different proportions to above...JJ

Cajun Rib Tickler

1C Tubinado or Dried Brown Sugar*
1/4C Paprika**
2T Kosher Salt
2T Garlic Powder
2T Onion Powder
2T Mustard Powder
2T Chili Powder
2tsp Black Pepper
1-2tsp Cayenne
2tsp Dry Oregano
2tsp Dry Thyme
2tsp Cry Celery Flakes
1tsp Celery Seed

Grind the Oregano, Thyme, Celery Flake and Seed. Mix all and store in air tight container, up to 3 months...
Makes about 1 Cup.
Notes...* Leave out the Sugar for a Cajun Blackening Spice. Spinkle a lot or a little, on whatever meat, dip in melted Butter or Olive oil and saute in a very hot pan until cooked to your desired IT.

** If you wish you can use Smoked Paprika in the recipe. This will give a seasoning that will add some "Smokey flavor" to Grilled, Sauteed, Fried or Roasted meat, not just stuff you smoke...JJ
