Poultry Seasoning Blend
Poultry seasoning does more than enhance flavor to poultry dishes. The most common ingredients in poultry seasoning are sage and thyme with many variations. Thus, you can imagine the many possibilities for flavoring your favorite savory dishes. I love using this homemade poultry seasoning to herb and spice up casseroles, soups, stews, chili, rice, veggies, pot pies, and more.
Servings: 4 tablespoons
Ingredients
- 6 g (1 tbsp) dried ground thyme
- 3 g (1 tbsp) dried ground sage
- 3 g (1 tbsp) dried crushed rosemary
- 3 g (1 tbsp) dried marjoram leaf (or oregano leaf) crushed between fingers
- 2 g (½ tbsp) dried ground coriander
- ½ g (¼ tsp) ground nutmeg
- ½ g (¼ tsp) ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine all ingredients. Rub dried herbs between your fingers to crush prior to adding them to the bowl. Stir until combined using a small whisk or the back of a spoon to break up any small masses of spices. You can also use a small sifter or mesh sieve. Taste the mixture and increase slightly any preferred herb. TIP: For a finer texture, purchase all herbs in ground form or grind them yourself using a mortar and pestle, coffee grinder, or pepper mill. For all leafy herbs, use all dried leaves (not ground) for each herb.
- Scoop or use a small funnel to transfer the spices from the small bowl to a spice jar or container that has a tight-fitting lid. This recipe makes a little over a ¼ cup (4+ tbsp).

Notes
Storage Suggestion:
Store the seasoning mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a year. Keep in mind that the seasoning mix should keep as long as the expiration dates on the individual seasoning packages or bottles. Thus, the newer and fresher the individual herbs and spices, the longer the mix will keep.
Usage Suggestions:
Add this poultry seasoning as you would a commercial version in a 1:1 ratio in your favorite recipes that call for poultry seasoning. It adds an earthiness to your dishes and complement chicken, turkey, roasted vegetables along with fish, beef, pork, and even tofu. The herbs in the mixture also work well with many savory dishes. Add it to eggs, casseroles, soups, stews, chili, rice dishes, and chicken pot pie. Why not sprinkle it on salads and sandwiches for an enhanced herbal and spice flavoring?
