Tasty Notes…

Although we have used salt in our recipe, you can omit it if you don’t like it. Or else, adjust the amounts based on your taste preference.
You can use two tablespoons of this seasoning for every 1kg of turkey.
Use new spices and herbs as much as possible (avoid the ingredients which are closer to the expiry date). This will maintain the shelf life and flavor quality of this blend.
If you are planning to use this ahead of time, keep it in the spice cabinet stored in an air-tight glass container/ mason jar.
