Title: Poultry Seasoning
Categories: Diabetic, Master mix
Yield: 1 master mix

Use 1/2 tsp for 3 tb total 2 Dried marjoram
Use 1/8 tsp for 1 recipe amt 2 Dried savory
7 Ground white pepper or less? 2 Powdered ginger
3 Dried sage 1 Ground allspice
2 Dried thyme 1 Grated nutmeg

Combine all ingredients (or those of your choice) and store in an
airtight jar. Yield about 3 tbsp. (My note: cautious with white
pepper! – my dressing tastes good with just 1/2 the quantity of sage
as the recipe amount of poultry seasoning and a generous grinding of
black pepper.)

Keep a note of the contents of your own poultry seasoning so you can
duplicate a good one next time you want it.
