Homemade Fresh Poultry Seasoning

  • Serves

    makes about 1/2 cup

Instead of using jarred poultry seasoning, associate food editor Kellie Evans quit the bottle and tailor-made a seasoning blend from fresh herbs and freshly ground spices. Lo and behold, she was rewarded with a lively, pungent flavor that puts the jarred stuff to shame. A new tradition was born. The recipe leaves out salt, so you can add it directly to turkey, stuffing, or Cornell Chicken without fear of over-seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped thyme
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped rosemary
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped sage
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped marjoram

  • 1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
