Newfoundland Savory

An earthy and rich herb, savory finds its way into the more "homey" dishes we eat around here. My mother-in-law has contributed a few jars of dried Newfoundland Savory to my pantry over the years.

This Thanksgiving, as with all others since I married my Newfoundland-raised husband, savory will play a critical role in our main dish: Turkey. A mixture of dried and fresh savory is laced througout our simple but delicious stuffing. It is combined with good-quality olive oil and rubbed onto the turkey prior to baking. It imbues our gravy with a distinct, robust flavor. It also looks lovely strewn about the serving platter.
