This recipe was easy and came out great. I didn't BBQ it though. I applied the rub, then cooked the turkey in a grill pan for 5 minutes on each side to get some color and grill marks. Then I transferred the turkey to the oven at 375 for 10 more minutes. It was delicious and my family loved it! The rub adds so much flavor, but it wasn't too spicy for the kids. I served the turkey with steamed carrots and mashed potatoes.01/21/10
