Thanksgiving Turkey Rub

Every year I go scrounging around looking for this delicious rub recipe, so I'm finally getting it on here to make my life easier! I've been using this turkey method (this rub + oven baking in a turkey bag) for over 10 years, and I'll never make one any other way. It's easy, moist for days, and... did I say delicious?

Ingredients:
3/4 C olive oil
3 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp fresh basil
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp black pepper
salt to taste

Directions:
1.) Mix above ingredients in a liquid measuring cup.
2.) Prepare the turkey bag according to the directions on the box.
3.) Place the turkey in the bag, and place the bag in the roasting pan.
4.) With the turkey lying on it's back, use your hand to separate the turkey's skin from the meat throughout the entire turkey (yep, up to your elbows).
5.) Stand the turkey on it's neck and pour about half of the mixed rub into one side (left vs right) of the turkey, between the skin & meat. With your hand, massage the oil and herbs into the meat. Be sure to get the legs and wings.
6.) Repeat with the other side of the turkey.
7.) Tie up the bag & slide it in the oven. Be ready to enjoy the best turkey of your life in a couple of short hours!
