I wonder if this would work with a Turkey roast. I saw some in the meat case that were right next to the pork loins and they actually looked the same except for the color. Would I have to alter the spices much if I used Turkey? The 2 tsp of chili powder sounds a little too hot for my liking but that I can tone down some.

Maybe this explains why 2 different men I went out with in the past year cooked a pork loin roast for me. I suspect they were interested in the last part and not the first. Didn't work for either of them, I do not like pork loin.;;)
The 2 teaspoons of chilipowder end up not being too hot in the sauce or in the rub - lends it a tangy pop rather than being fiery hot.

Well, I still have two offspring (18 & 22) and husband living at home, a full-time job, church responsibilities, and busy social calendar...I'm drained. Hence my need for a tangy pop!
