Instructions

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.
Alternatively, if not using celery seed or starting with pre-ground, it's fine to simply whisk everything together in a bowl.
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
