There is no real substitution for fresh sage, but if you don't have dried/rubbed sage, try using poultry seasoning instead.
To substitute rubbed sage, you can use a combination of poultry seasoning and thyme. A good ratio is about 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning and ½ teaspoon of thyme for every teaspoon of rubbed sage needed. This blend will help replicate the earthy and savory notes of sage in your dish. Adjust the amounts to taste, depending on your preference and the specific recipe.
