Tilted Brush Stroke

Combine all of the ingredients together in a spice grinder and pulse to grind. Alternatively, grind the black pepper from a pepper grinder and mix together all of the spices.

I recommend having your butcher cut up the turkey for you, reserving the neck and backbone (cut into pieces) for stock.

Tilted Brush Stroke

The turkey should be cut into the following pieces: 2 wings, whole breast intact (don't separate the two), two thighs, and two drumsticks.

Tilted Brush Stroke

Place the turkey pieces, skin-side up on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the dry brine liberally all over each piece of the bird, covering it completely.

Place the rack, uncovered, in the refrigerator to chill for at least 24 hours or up to 48 hours.

Don’t love all the flavors in the dry brine? Make it your own. You can even add smoked paprika for a little kick!
