What is Poultry Seasoning
You may be wondering what’s in poultry seasoning?! Poultry Seasoning is simply a seasoning blend often used in turkey and stuffing recipes. I always add a little spoonful to my broth or chicken soups to add that savory flavor we associate with turkey dinner. Hints of sage and rosemary make dishes taste so homey.
You can find it in the spice aisle at the grocery store (or online) but you can also quickly and easily make your own at home.
You very likely have all of these ingredients on hand to easily make your own DIY poultry seasoning blend. Most of the spices you’ll likely have already blended except the rosemary. I just put it in my coffee grinder or magic bullet to grind a little bit.
Once mixed, this will keep in the cupboard for up to a 6 months in an airtight container or spice jar and this is the perfect substitute for poultry seasoning from the store. This is a small recipe making only 3 tablespoons but it can easily be doubled or tripled if you’d like more.
It’s great added into any recipe using chicken including casseroles, dumplings. When I am roasting a turkey (or chicken), I also rub the outside of the bird with olive oil and then do a rub of poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. It makes the most crispy savory skin and tastes wonderful!

This recipe is brilliant!! I always use a pre-made seasoning, but I love that this one is homemade. It sounds delicious!
I love this homemade spice mix…I’ve never tried poultry seasoning but I love the mix of herbs here.
I love making my own spice mix too! Makes things so much easier and customized. Nothing beats good poultry seasonings. I love the combinations – the sage sounds just right.
I love using poultry seasoning on the Thanksgiving turkey as well. It’s also great to add to stuffing.
This is such a great idea! I never buy poultry seasoning so when a recipe calls for it I just kinda throw in whatever. Now, I know what to use!
This is a great idea nothing better than doing yoru own condiments and spices at home this is a tradition in many cultures. I grow my own herbs so I need to start this practice
I need to print this right now and put it in my recipe binder. I never seem to have poultry seasoning when I need it! But I always have all of these spices. Thanks!
I love to make my own spice mixes at home so I can control the quality of the spices. You never know howl long the mixes have been sitting on a market shelf! I love this as I don’t have a poultry seasoning at home at the moment. This is definitely one I need to make!
Such a great post right before the holidays! Poultry seasoning is a must for Thanksgiving stuffing, but I never knew how to make it. Yum!
This is a great idea, it’s perfect to have on hand!
ooh! I don’t have a recipe for poultry seasoning, thank you – this is great!!
I grew up in Canada where poultry seasoning was always used for a roast chicken stuffing – here in the UK though I can’t get it and I miss it! I am so making this soon! In fact, I’m creating a full roast chicken dinner for a brand this week so I’ll use this recipe to season my stuffing, thank you! :D
I love the idea of making it yourself so you know exactly what’s in it.
I grew sage this year in my garden how do I make it ground sage okay I just use the leaves and crunch them up.
Hang bundles of sage to dry in an out-of-the-way spot, away from direct sunlight. Or you can use a dehydrator on the lowest setting (it will be ready in about a day), or just dry in the oven on the lowest possible setting until evenly crisp. Then crumble! I hope this helps!
