Cinnamon Free Poultry Seasoning
Most store-bought poultry seasonings are straightforward, but it's surprisingly easy to grab a blend that sneaks in unexpected spices — and for anyone avoiding cinnamon, that guesswork gets old fast. This homemade version keeps things clean and classic, built entirely from savory herbs and warm aromatics that have no business being anywhere near a dessert spice rack. Sage leads the way with its earthy, slightly peppery depth, while thyme and marjoram add brightness and a gentle floral note that makes roasted chicken smell absolutely incredible. A touch of rosemary and black pepper give it backbone, and a whisper of nutmeg rounds everything out without tipping into sweet territory. The whole thing comes together in minutes with a quick stir, and crushing the rosemary by hand at the end makes the texture beautifully even. Store it in an airtight jar and you'll have a reliable, cinnamon-free blend ready to go for roasts, stuffing, gravies, or anything else that calls for that classic poultry flavor.
