Discover ALDI’s $1.19 Thanksgiving Secret Ingredient That Elevates Every Dish!

Whenever I’m preparing a turkey, it’s essential to include herbs specifically suited for poultry. However, finding fresh bundles of sage, rosemary, and thyme can be a challenge at local stores, and they tend to be pricey when available.

That’s why I’m thankful for the excellent and budget-friendly poultry seasoning from ALDI, known as Stonemill Poultry Seasoning.

Why Stonemill Poultry Seasoning Stands Out

Priced at just $1.19, this seasoning offers a rich mix of sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, black pepper, and nutmeg. Opening the container releases an enchanting scent, starting with the herbal freshness of sage, rosemary, and thyme, followed by the inviting aromas of nutmeg, marjoram, and black pepper. It’s quite a sensory experience.

This blend of spices is sure to elevate my Thanksgiving preparations. I’ve already used it on a whole turkey and a turkey breast with great results.

To season a whole turkey, I suggest blending it with butter or olive oil along with some sea salt, applying it liberally over the bird, and then placing several tablespoons under the skin for a truly delicious result. For seasoning a turkey breast, simply coat it with olive oil, then apply the spice mixture and salt on top.

But this seasoning isn’t just for turkey—it also works wonders in gravy and stuffing. Try adding about a teaspoon to your gravy and at least two teaspoons to the stuffing for added depth of flavor.

Multiple Applications for One Seasoning Blend

After your turkey dinner, don’t throw out the bones. Instead, place them in a pot, fill with water, add some carrots, celery stalks, and a couple of chopped onions, and sprinkle in one or two teaspoons of this poultry seasoning to create a flavorful stock.

This seasoning is not limited to turkey; it’s perfect for chicken, whether you’re preparing a whole bird or just parts like breasts or thighs. Use it with olive oil or butter just as you would with turkey, adding the seasoning blend and salt for enhanced flavor.

I believe this seasoning would also be ideal for duck or duck breasts. When preparing these, consider serving them with wild rice pilaf, adding a half teaspoon of the seasoning for an extra layer of flavor.
