Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon sage if using rubbed sage you may want a bit more, ground
  • 1 Tablespoon thyme dried
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram or rosemary; see Notes, dried
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed optional
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper finely ground
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a mortar and pestle or electric spice grinder, grind the thyme and celery seed together until thoroughly mixed. Add the other ingredients and pulse or stir to combine.
  2. Alternatively, if not using celery seed or starting with pre-ground, it's fine to simply whisk everything together in a bowl.
  3. Transfer your homemade poultry seasoning to a clean jar or other lidded container, and store in the pantry for up to 6 months, depending on the freshness of the individual spices and herbs.

Notes

  • Yield: The recipe makes about 3 Tbsp. I recommend trying this small batch first. This will allow you to taste it, use it in a recipe, and adjust the flavors if desired. Then multiply the recipe to fill a spice jar.
  • Subs and Variations:
  • instead of marjoram, try ½ teaspoon oregano
  • add sweet or smoked paprika for a touch of pepper flavor
  • sub white pepper for black
  • other common ingredients to try: nutmeg, lemon peel, or ginger
