Recipes - Poultry Seasoning

Herb & Chicken Salad

1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1/4 cup almonds
1 1/2 tsp. Backyard Patch Poultry Seasoning
mayonnaise
rye bread

Combine ingredients using enough mayonnaise to moisten. Serve with pineapple slices or spread on rye bread. Garnish with watercress.

Fruit and Nut Stuffing
This vegetable and fruit seasoning is a nice alternative to sausage stuffing.

8 slices of fresh or day-old white sandwich bread
2 eggs
½ cup milk
2 Tbls. Butter
1 cup apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 salt celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
½ to 1 cup walnuts
1 large can mandarin oranges, strained
½ cup orange juice
1 tsp. Minced orange peel
½ tsp. Backyard Patch Poultry Seasoning

Slice bread into ½-inch cubes and put in a roomy bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add to the bread and mix well. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the apples, celery and onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add to the bowl with the bread and mix well. Add the walnuts, oranges, orange juice, orange peel and seasoning and mix until thoroughly blended. Place in casserole dish and cover with a lid or foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove the cover or foil for the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking for a nice golden color. If you would like to cook the stuffing in the turkey, loosely stuff the cavity after the turkey has been roasting for 45 minutes. There will probably be extra stuffing so bake it in a small baking dish.

How it all started

I started growing herbs in 1994. I love the scents, the shades of green, and the scent and texture of the leaves. I love everything about them!

My first herb garden resulted from my need for good tea herbs. To this day, tea is among my favorite creations.

My husband does not use salt or preservatives, as a result all my seasonings and mixes, are all salt free, organic and preservative free.

I hand harvest and air dry the herbs using no fossil fuels

Product Line is Expanding

I started with 6 herbal teas, an Italian Dressing Mix and Dill Dip Mix. Now I make more than 50 seasoning blends and have never needed salt to make them taste better or preservatives to help them stay fresh. When you start with fresh ingredients and lovingly take care of your plants, it makes it all better.

Commonly asked Questions

FAQ

Do you use preservatives?

All of our blends are created with no preservatives, flavor enhancers or anti-clumping agents.

We grow our herbs organically, no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides and only organic methods. The herbs are grown in "hills" placed in rows. This allows us to walk among the plants but keep a high-quality soil and easy watering methods that makes plants drought resistant.

Are your items salt and gluten-free?

All our herb blends are crafted with no salt and no gluten. Our baking mixes will be clearly marked if they are gluten-free, but all will be low salt. However, since we make all the blends ourselves if you wish no salt in a baking mix (scones, breads, etc.) just ask and we will blend them without salt.

How and where do you ship?

Due to restrictions on plant materials, we only ship to the US or US territories. NO international orders are accepted. All items can be shipped either UPS or USPS depending on weight.

Where do your herbs come from?

We grow almost all of the herbs we use in our blends at our 3/4 acre herb garden. We have been growing herbs since 1994 and created our garden space in 1998 growing our herbs production style in hills and rows.
