Poultry Seasoning on Turkey

[prpltrmpt]

So, I was thinking about using some poultry seasoning under the turkey skin, in addition to a rosemary, sage, and thyme dry brine.

 

Do people not really use poultry seasoning anymore, other in maybe stuffing? I 'discovered it' first in a recipe for chicken and dumplings, and I really like the taste of it! But, most of the more modern recipes I see in epicurious/saveur etc always use just fresh chopped herbs. I think poultry seasoning actually also has rosemary/thyme/sage or all three in it, but I feel that it still tastes pretty different. no time to experiment anymore, so I am relying on egullet for help!!

 

Thoughts?

Only your taste buds can tell you.

Agree with DDF above.

 

FWIW I probably wouldn't experiment on the TG turkey as you only have one shot at it tomorrow.

Good point! I usually am fine with experimenting, but seeing as this would be a pretty expensive experiment....I'll stick with the herbs. Thanks for pointing me back to logic haha.

I use poultry seasoning all the time.  Since it is so fine I do mix it with some fine salt.  I wouldn't put it under the skin directly but you might make a butter/seasoning blend to spread under the skin.

What is this "poultry seasoning" of which you speak?

Bell's Poultry Seasoning is my favorite to use.

no pasting required to s-p-e-l-l  Bells'

 

you probably use the 5 lbs jug from COSTCO. Generic.  its probably 8 years old by now, at least.

 

oddly the freshest Bells come in just before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

wonder why.

Well, we can't be wrong if three of us use the same thing
