Read on below more of these essential herbs for an indoor windowsill garden.
2. Thyme
Thyme is a classic poultry herb that thrives in containers. It comes in a range of varieties, including the aromatic lemon thyme and the common thyme, which is used for cooking, and it can be used as a stuffing, rub, or sprig in your Thanksgiving dishes. Thyme grows best when it is kept pruned, which is good news for chefs, as it means we always have a fresh supply of the herb.
Thyme, it may surprise you to learn, has its place in not just the main course, but also dessert. While it is a crucial component in preparing your bird, thyme also adds an interesting twist to pies and tarts. Try a thyme apple crumble this year, and don’t forget to add thyme to your roast vegetables and stuffing.3. Sage
The third herb in the poultry trifecta is sage. This aromatic herb, like thyme and rosemary, grows well in containers and is an essential part of your Thanksgiving feast. Sage is a potent herb (a little bit goes a long way), and its soft, velvety leaves add a nice touch to your indoor d?cor.
Use your sage to flavor your turkey, and then try your hand later on in the season at some herbed breads. Sage is the perfect herbal accompaniment for fatty meats like duck and pork, too, so your container herb won’t go to waste once Thanksgiving is over.
