You could use Poultry Seasoning, which does contain some sage, but also contains marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and nutmeg. Or make your own mixture using just those spices without the sage.

Ooops...somehow I left thyme off that list.

Speaking of poultry seasoning, I have not a recipe but a tale of Thanksgiving past.

My wife was all excited to cook our first Thanksgiving for my family at our newly bought home (circa 1982). She made the dressing the night before and at 5:30 Thanksgiving morning we stuffed the bird and shot it in the oven and I returned to the sack for a couple of more hours sleep.

When I came down stairs I thought I walked into Tony's Pizza! I ask my darling spouse, "Why does it smell like pizza?"

A slight whimper and some words I can not use here fluttered though the kitchen air, "OMG I used oregano instead of the poultry seasoning!” We pulled the bird out and I said to just add the poultry season and hope for the best and keep quiet about it!

Well, all arrived and diner was had and at the end my Dad said, “That stuffing was delicious!" After that we let it out of the bag and since then we add a little (not as much as the first time) oregano to the stuffing every year.
