Quite tasty, I couldn't stop eating it. I just sprinkled the spices on sliced turkey breast and sauteed! Perfect flavor (used garlic salt instead of garlic powder).

Very tasty and especially appreciated by Dh. I applied the seasoning under the skin and used the cooking method described in recipe #46714, Great Grilled Turkey Breast. And of course, alder is far easier to come by here in the Northwest so I didn't use mesquite. Thanks, Tonkcats.
