Preferred Dry Rub for Smoked Turkey

I bought myself a propane smoker for an early Christmas present. I smoked a pork shoulder yesterday for practice. After some online research, I slathered on yellow mustard, then worked in my dry rub. I was shocked that it tasted so good, 'cause it took a few hours to figure out how to keep the heat down to 225.
The dry rub I used had brown sugar in it. Is the sugar necessary to make a good bark on a turkey? My sister is diabetic so I'm looking for a different option.

No need for sugar in a dry rub.
Paprika (smoked if you can find it), ground mustard, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder.
Very basic, but it will get you there.

I use equal parts of poultry seasoning and Tony's. Keep it simple with poultry and you can't go wrong.

For Pork Shoulders, brisket and ribs, I would have to disagree. Certainly not on a turkey.
I smoke 3-4 turkeys a year and I would agree with Bayou on the run to use

I would of course add some black and white pepper though. If you brined the turkey, and you should have, skip the salt in the rub, otherwise throw in some salt as well.
