Poultry Seasoning

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Best flavor within 1-2 years, though it remains safe indefinitely. Loses potency over time; replace if aroma fades.

Toast lightly in a dry pan before using to awaken the oils and enhance flavor

Use beyond poultry: excellent in savory biscuits, roasted vegetables, and bread stuffing

Start with 1 teaspoon per pound of poultry and adjust to taste

Add to softened butter for a quick compound butter to rub under poultry skin

Roasted chicken and turkey

Bread stuffing and dressing

Pork chops and roasts

Root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes

Creamy soups and chowders

Biscuits and savory scones

Using too much at once—it can overpower delicate flavors; build up gradually

Adding it only at the end of cooking; the herbs need time to bloom and meld

Assuming all brands taste the same; blends vary widely, so taste before using liberally
