Best Spices for Your Turkey

What’s the secret to moist and succulent turkey? Salt, of course! Brining your turkey adds flavor-enhancing salt and much-needed moisture. We have a Savory Turkey Brine and a Sweet Turkey Seasoning, depending on what kind of flavor you want to add!

To use our turkey brine, combine the package of brine with a cup of sea salt and a gallon of vegetable broth in a large stock pot. Bring it to a boil until all the salt is dissolved. After the broth is cooled to room temperature, combine it in a 5-gallon bucket with a gallon of ice water. Soak the turkey in the brine for an hour per pound of turkey. Then remove the turkey, cook it how you like, and enjoy!

Making stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, or pie for Thanksgiving? We have you covered! Thanksgiving is easy when your pantry has all of the staples you need to make all of your side dishes. Some of our Thanksgiving essentials include: 

• Thyme - You can’t have stuffing and gravy without some thyme! Make a rich gravy this Thanksgiving with some of our freshly ground thyme. 
• Rosemary - Rosemary has a distinctive pine-woody aroma with camphoraceous undertones and a fresh, bittersweet flavor. Rosemary makes the perfect addition to stuffing, gravy, or turkey seasoning.
• Sage - One of our favorite herbs to use in our stuffing and gravy is sage! Our rubbed sage adds an earthy and bold flavor to your dish. 
• Poultry Seasoning - Looking for a little bit of all the flavors? Get our Poultry Seasoning, with thyme, sage, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and nutmeg. It’s not just for poultry, either! We like to use this to make a flavor-packed stuffing!
• Saigon Cinnamon - Saigon Cinnamon is some of the best cinnamon you can find. It’s a staple for apple pie or cranberry sauce!
• Allspice - We love Allspice! It’s the perfect blend of flavors similar to clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add some to your cranberry sauce for more spice!
• Nutmeg - Nutmeg is commonly used in sweet and savory foods because it blends well with other spices. Nutmeg is essential for apple pie and makes a great addition to cranberry sauce as well!
• Pumpkin Pie Spice - This one is a no-brainer. To make pumpkin pie...you need Pumpkin Pie Spice! Our Pumpkin Pie Spice is made from warm nutmeg, spicy ginger, cinnamon, clove, and allspice for everyone's favorite fall dessert.
