Poultry Seasoning

The combination of these herbs and spices creates a savory mixture that brings out the best in poultry dishes. If you don't have poultry seasoning, in a pinch you can make a simple substitute using common dried herbs found in many kitchens. Combine equal parts of dried sage, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary. Add a pinch of black pepper and nutmeg to match the typical flavor profile of poultry seasoning.

Customize your poultry seasoning by adjusting the ratio of herbs to suit your taste. Although designed for poultry, this seasoning blend can also enhance the flavor of many vegetarian dishes, soups, stews and gravies. Sprinkle some poultry seasoning on vegetables before roasting to add a savory twist.

When stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container, poultry seasoning can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years. The flavor may start to diminish after that, but it will still be safe to use. Freezing is not necessary and generally not recommended for dried spices and herbs, as it doesn't really extend their life compared to proper cupboard storage. Be sure to label and date your container.
