Sage leaves

A culinary herb used in savory dishes. A native to the Mediterranean sage is used in stuffings and pairs well with poultry.   Sage is a nice garden herb but if you don't grow it you  can purchase fresh sage in the produce section of well-stocked grocery stores.  Alternately you can use rubbed (crumbled) sage or ground sage both of which are easy to find.

Per teaspoon of sage leaves you can substitute
1 teaspoon of dried crumbled sage
OR For a flavor variation per tablespoon sage leaves
Use 3-4 teaspoons chopped summer savory
3-4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1-2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

1 tablespoon chopped sage = 1 teaspoon dried sage
12 sage leaves = 1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 ounce sage leaves = 1/2 cup leaves
12 leaves = 1 teaspoon dried sage
1 ounce rubbed sage = 1 cup sage leaves
1 ounce ground sage = 1/4 cup sage leaves
