Turkey Rub

Since the Proti household is going low-carb (and I mean seriously low carb- less than 20 a day), I have been desperately searching for ways to jazz up our proteins! I have been googling 'dry rubs' for chickens, turkey, steaks, pork, fish, etc.

Short story even shorter: I found an amazing rub for poultry and we used it on some turkey legs the first night of our low-carb-a-thon. I plan to use it for next Thanksgiving! Give it a shot!
