No, Sage and Bay Leaf are not the same thing. They may look similar, but are not the same herb. Sage is used in stuffing, in chicken or turkey dishes either dried or fresh. Bay Leaf is used a lot in soup either dried or less common, fresh.

On a bay tree.Aromatic leaf of the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis, Lauraceae). I've never seen it grow bigger than a large shrub and it's usually called laurel. They need to be dried and aged before the flavor is any good. Fresh bay tastes like a green leaf!
