The holidays will be here before we know it. Many of us use Poultry Seasoning as the cornerstone of the turkey. Here is a quick and easy recipe that puts the stuff in the little jar to shame.
It uses all the flavors that come in the jar, but when you make it yourself you can have whatever herb touches your heart the most be the star. Something you’re not crazy about adjust the quantity so that it will take a back seat. You can even add a flavor that you love as well. Don’t like the powdery dust that comes in the jar? Grinding the herbs yourself lets you control the texture.
I love sage and rosemary so I go heavy on those herbs. I’m not a big fan of nutmeg, so I use very little of it. I like my seasoning to have the subtle flavor of onion so I add some onion powder. I only grind the herbs long enough to create a slightly coarse texture.
