FROM THE FIELD—TO YOUR FOOD
Greatness isn’t made, it’s grown by passionate farmers from all over the world. Our commitment to quality means that you can trust the ingredients in every bottle of McCormick Gourmet and that they can help make flavors you love. For example, cinnamon product integrity is managed every step of the way, from source country to your door, by a comprehensive vendor certification quality program. And red pepper seeds must meet McCormick specs to ensure an optimum flavor and consistency.
FROM US—TO OUR FARMERS
Without the farmers, none of this would be possible. We’re dedicated to their success, and that doesn’t just mean the success of their crops. To reach our goal of improving the resilience of the smallholder farming communities in India who grow our five iconic herbs and spices, we will continue to improve their livelihoods, empower women with access to education and skills training, and invest in water purification systems to facilitate clean drinking water.
FROM FARMING—TO OUR FUTURE
The future has to be sustainable, that’s why we’re dedicated to making a measurable impact with how our farms operate. Initiatives to help reduce our environmental impact include supporting farmers in implementing integrated pest management systems and teaching biodynamic farming practices to eradicate the need for chemicals. We’re also working with partners to prevent deforestation by promoting more sustainable land management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much prep time does this blend actually save me compared to using five separate spices?
Instead of measuring thyme, sage, oregano, pepper, and nutmeg individually, you make one shake. For a typical roast turkey or weeknight chicken dinner, that cuts a few minutes of measuring and several jars of cleanup, which adds up across a holiday cooking marathon.
Can I use this for a full week of meal prep without it getting boring?
Yes. The blend works on roasted chicken, sheet-pan vegetables, ground turkey, meatloaf, stuffing, gravy, pot pie filling, and even chicken salad. The flavor profile stays consistent, so you can rotate proteins and sides all week without re-buying spices.
Does this jar fit easily into a small apartment galley kitchen?
Yes. At roughly 1.67 x 1.67 x 4.56 inches, it fits standard spice racks, magnetic strips, narrow drawers, and small countertop caddies. It is a deliberate space-saver compared to stocking five full-size spice bottles.
Is it easy to dose quickly while I am rushing through a weeknight dinner?
Yes. The jar cap is designed for controlled shaking, so you can season a pan of chicken or a pot of gravy in a single motion without digging out a measuring spoon.
How does this help me host a holiday dinner without last-minute stress?
Pre-blending removes a major decision point. You do not have to remember ratios of five herbs for the turkey, stuffing, and gravy, and you do not have to run out for a missing spice mid-cook. That frees mental bandwidth for timing the rest of the meal.
Is this efficient enough to use in a slow cooker or Instant Pot?
Yes. The blend holds up well in long, slow cooks and pressure cooking. Add it at the start for deep flavor in pot roast-style chicken or a holiday turkey breast, or sprinkle it in at the end for brighter herbal notes in gravy.
Does pre-blending mean I lose the ability to adjust individual flavors?
You can still customize. Start with a measured amount of the blend, then add extra fresh thyme, a pinch of black pepper, or grated nutmeg to taste. The blend is a productivity base, not a rigid recipe.
Can I keep this jar at my desk or in a home office snack area for quick meals?
Yes. The compact size is convenient for an office kitchen, dorm fridge door, or shared pantry. You can season a quick chicken wrap or microwaved grain bowl without hauling out a full spice rack.
How does this help with focused cooking sessions and not getting distracted?
Fewer jars means fewer open containers, less clutter, and fewer mid-cook decisions. You can keep your eyes on timing, temperature, and guests instead of fumbling through five labels trying to find the right spice.
Is the jar easy to open and reseal while my hands are messy?
The cap is a standard shaker lid that twists on and off smoothly. A quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps the threads clean, and the jar reseals tightly to lock in aroma between uses.
Can I use this as a one-stop seasoning for a working parent with no time to plan menus?
Yes. It is a reliable 'default' seasoning for chicken, turkey, and stuffing when you do not have time to plan a recipe. Pair it with a simple protein, a starch, and a green vegetable, and you have a complete dinner.
Does this blend work for a study-break or late-night snack cook?
Yes. You can season scrambled eggs, a quick quesadilla, or instant ramen with a small pinch for a savory, comforting late-night bite without a full grocery run.
I am worried about running out mid-holiday cook. Is the 0.87 oz size enough for a full Thanksgiving dinner?
For a single turkey, stuffing, and gravy, yes. A 0.87 oz jar is enough to generously season a 12 to 16 pound bird plus a tray of stuffing and a pot of gravy. If you are cooking for a very large group, consider ordering two jars to be safe.
How do I use McCormick Gourmet Organic Poultry Seasoning on a roast turkey?
Pat the turkey dry, then mix about 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning with 3 to 4 tablespoons of softened butter or olive oil. Rub the mixture under and over the skin, then roast as usual. Reserve a small pinch to stir into the pan gravy for extra aroma.
What is the correct ratio of poultry seasoning to use per pound of meat?
A good starting point is about 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning per pound of meat for chicken and turkey. For stuffing and gravy, use 1 to 2 teaspoons per 4 cups of liquid or bread mixture, then adjust to taste.
Can I use this seasoning in slow cooker or Instant Pot recipes?
Yes. Add the poultry seasoning at the start of cooking for a deeper, infused flavor, or sprinkle it in during the last 15 minutes for brighter herbal notes. It works well in slow cooker turkey breast, Instant Pot shredded chicken, and one-pot chicken and rice.
Does this poultry seasoning contain salt, or do I need to add my own?
The McCormick Gourmet Organic Poultry Seasoning blend is typically salt-free, which gives you full control over seasoning. Always taste the dish before adding extra salt, especially when seasoning brined or cured poultry.
Will this jar fit a standard spice rack shelf or magnetic strip?
Yes. The jar measures about 1.67 x 1.67 x 4.56 inches, which is compatible with most standard spice rack shelves, in-drawer organizers, and common magnetic spice holders. If your magnetic strip is sized for larger tins, you may need a small adapter.
What is in the jar and what do I need to buy separately?
Inside the jar is a pre-blended mix of organic thyme, sage, oregano, black pepper, and nutmeg. You do not need to buy any other spices to use it on poultry, stuffing, or gravy. If you want to complete a holiday pantry, consider adding salt, paprika, and garlic powder separately.
How should I store the jar to keep the herbs fresh?
Store the jar in a cool, dry cabinet away from direct sunlight, the stove, and the sink. Always reseal the cap tightly after use. Properly stored, the jar will retain peak aroma for 12 to 18 months after opening.
Is this seasoning safe for people with common food allergies?
The blend is vegan, gluten-free, and kosher-friendly, and contains no major allergens beyond what is naturally present in the listed herbs and spices. If you have a specific allergy, always read the full ingredient list printed on the jar before using.
What is the difference between poultry seasoning and a generic herb blend?
Poultry seasoning is a classic blend specifically designed for turkey and chicken, typically built around sage and thyme with supporting herbs like oregano, marjoram, pepper, and nutmeg. A generic herb blend is more general-purpose and may not include the warm, savory notes that complement poultry, stuffing, and gravy.
