Does anyone have a recipe or method for making a turkey herb rub? I have lots of sage and thyme and oregano in my garden...I like the idea of a greens jar, but I'd also like to whip up a turkey rub for the Holidays, and perhaps to give as gifts.
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come. |

Jeez, those three herbs sound great! I'd use a little less sage , and lots of thyme ( my favorite herb) some oregano sounds good - pepper? Lovage or celery tops dried? Just keep track as you come up with combinations - spoken from experience! Would love to have your recipe when you get to it.........

 you guys crack me up.
So, Meadowlark, novice that I am with herbs, I have to ask... is the plan to dry the herbs, crush them, and then combine them in a container to give? I'd be interested in knowing what your porportions turn out to be. Sounds great!

Clare...I am working on that right now...you may be the recipient (experimental so be warned) of Meadowlarks "Spa Recommended Herbal Turkey Rub and Massage". I am researching a few other ingredients to add. I have a really cool book called Joie de Vivre, Simple French Style for Everyday Living that has some basic spice mixes for meat. There is also one for salads and vegetables that uses the meat spice and adds the zests of lemon, lime and orange. Sounds quite tasty!

Linda! Forgot the rosemary! Isn't that the herb of rememberance? Thanks for the reminder! Patricia...Who is giving you straight lines and what do ya mean? Sometimes the synapsis fibers don't fire very well...especially on Sunday evenings.And what does this have to do with turkeys?

| Yes, it is the herb for rememberance. The story goes (I read ALOT of herb books) that Mary threw her cloak on a rosemary bush to dry, and when she took it off, there were blue flowers. Very biblical! Also charming.......... |

| Bayou - you're kidding?! Your sister lives here? Cool. Foliage is yellow this year - it poured buckets ( and we had floods - real floods) during foliage season - all that's left are the yellow leaves. We have an apple farm here in town, but for cider you have to go to Walpole ( on the VT border) or toward Jaffrey ( toward the MA border). |
