Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 1 tablespoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried sage, dried marjoram, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Make sure to measure each ingredient accurately for the best flavor.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried sage, and dried marjoram. These herbs form the base of your poultry seasoning mix and contribute a robust flavor.
- Next, add the garlic powder and onion powder to the bowl. These ingredients will enhance the savory profile of your seasoning mix, giving it depth and richness.
- Now, sprinkle in the black pepper and salt. The black pepper adds a mild heat, while the salt helps to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Using a whisk or a fork, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Make sure there are no clumps and that the spices are evenly distributed.
- Once mixed, taste a small amount of the seasoning (if desired) to adjust the flavor according to your preference. You can add a bit more salt or pepper if you like a stronger taste.
- Transfer the poultry seasoning mix into an airtight container or a spice jar. Label the container with the name and date for future reference.
- Store the seasoning mix in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It should stay fresh for up to 6 months, although its flavor may diminish over time.
- Your homemade poultry seasoning mix is now ready to use! Sprinkle it over chicken, turkey, or any poultry dish before cooking to enhance the flavor.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality dried herbs for the most intense flavor profile.
- Store your seasoning mix in a dark, airtight container to preserve its potency.
- For maximum freshness, make small batches every 3-4 months.
- Experiment with toasting whole spices before grinding for an even more complex flavor.
- Consider using this mix as a dry rub for roasting, grilling, or even as a seasoning for vegetables.
- If you prefer a finer texture, pulse the dried herbs in a spice grinder before mixing.
- Always label your spice mix with the date of preparation to track freshness.
