Nightshade Free Poultry Seasoning
Store-bought seasoning blends are one of the sneakiest sources of hidden nightshades — paprika, cayenne, and chili powder turn up in all kinds of spice mixes that seem totally innocent. This homemade blend sidesteps all of that by leaning on a fragrant lineup of sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and a whisper of nutmeg. The result is a deeply aromatic, warmly herbal mix that makes roasted chicken, turkey, stuffing, and savory gravies taste like they came straight from a farmhouse kitchen. Sage does the heavy lifting with its earthy, slightly peppery depth, while marjoram and thyme round everything out with a gentle sweetness. The nutmeg is subtle but essential — it adds just enough warmth to make the whole blend feel cohesive and complex. Mixing it yourself takes about two minutes, and a single batch keeps for up to six months in an airtight jar, so you'll always have a safe, reliable seasoning on hand. Once you have this in your pantry, you'll wonder how you ever cooked without it.
