Ingredients

4 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp dried sage, crumbled
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp dark maple syrup (not imitation)

Steps:

1. TO MAKE THE RUB: Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add the maple syrup and stir well. Mixture should look and feel like wet sand.
2. THE TURKEY: Rub the mixture on the inside and outside of the turkey. Place turkey in a plastic bag and refrigerate at least 12 hours, up to overnight. Every few hours or so, turn the turkey around in the bag to marinate in the juices that have been released. (They will eventually mostly get reabsorbed, but this helps the flavors penetrate the meat evenly.)
3. NOTE: Do not use a kosher turkey for this recipe. Kosher turkeys have already been brined before you buy them.

When the leaves start turning, it's turkey time at our house. We use maple-sage brine to help brown the bird and make the meat incredibly juicy. -Kim Forni, Laconia, New Hampshire
