No. 14 Turkey Trek
No. 14 Turkey Trek
A savory, sage-forward seasoning crafted for Thanksgiving turkey.
Best on: Turkey
Ingredients: Kosher Salt, Onion, Garlic, Sage, Black Pepper, Parsley, Thyme, Rosemary, Celery Seed, White Pepper, Sweet Paprika.
Instructions:
For a Thanksgiving Turkey (12–16 lb):
-
Prepare: Thaw turkey completely, remove giblets, and pat dry.
-
Season: Apply the entire 50 g pouch of Turkey Trek evenly over the turkey, including under the breast skin.
-
Dry Brine: Refrigerate uncovered for 12–24 hours to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat and help produce crispy skin.
-
Roast: Preheat oven to 325°F. Rub turkey with 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter and roast breast-side up until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast, thigh, and wing.
-
Rest: Allow turkey to rest for 20–30 minutes before carving.
Backcountry Tip: For the best results, season the turkey the night before cooking. Turkey Trek also pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, potatoes, stuffing, and seasonal vegetables.
Note: Designed for natural, unbrined turkeys. Reduce the amount of seasoning for pre-brined, injected, or enhanced turkeys to avoid oversalting.
