Savory Turkey Rub

1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. powdered chicken bouillon
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. rosemary
2-3 Tbl. oil or melted lard

Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl.  Baste the turkey with oil (olive, vegetable, etc.) - I use melted bacon grease.  Sprinkle or rub the seasoning mixture all over, making sure not to forget the cavity (if it's not stuffed).  Cook as directed.
This is enough for a small turkey (maybe up to 12 lb.)
The seasonings also help make a very delicious gravy from the drippings.
Enjoy!
