Despite the name, this fragrant spice blend contains absolutely nothing from the bird itself — just six pantry herbs and spices that come together in minutes. It's a clever workaround for anyone who loves the warm, savory aroma of classic holiday cooking without any actual poultry in the mix. Dried sage leads the way with its earthy depth, while thyme, marjoram, and rosemary layer in complexity, and a pinch of nutmeg rounds everything out with just a hint of warmth. Store-bought versions can be surprisingly hit-or-miss when it comes to hidden additives or shared processing facilities, so making your own gives you full control over every ingredient. The whole process is as simple as stirring a bowl and crushing the rosemary between your fingers until the blend feels uniform. Sealed in an airtight jar and tucked in a cool, dark spot, this mix stays fresh and potent for up to six months. Use it to season stuffings, roasted vegetables, soups, or anywhere you want that cozy, herbaceous depth without a second thought.

Combine the dried sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and ground nutmeg in a small bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
If the rosemary leaves are coarse, crush the finished blend briefly between your fingers or with the back of a spoon until the texture is uniform and the rosemary is broken into smaller flakes.
