Poultry seasoning
Herby and savory with a dominant sage note alongside thyme, marjoram, and black pepper.
Lens analyzedPoultry seasoning is a pre-mixed blend of dried herbs, typically sage, thyme, marjoram, and black pepper, formulated specifically to season chicken and turkey. It saves measuring out several individual spice jars for the same purpose. It's especially common in stuffing and roasted poultry recipes around North American holiday meals.
Where it comes from
Blending herbs specifically for poultry became a standard spice-aisle product in North America as pre-mixed seasoning blends grew popular in the twentieth century for convenience. It remains closely tied to Thanksgiving and other holiday roasts, where stuffing and gravy recipes often call for it by name.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list to see the exact herb blend, since brands vary in their sage-to-thyme ratio and some add salt while others don't. Smell the jar for a strong, herby aroma rather than a faint or stale one.
Storing it
Store poultry seasoning sealed in the pantry away from heat and light, where it holds its flavor for about two years.
Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
