Gluten Free Stuffing (Easy Homemade Dressing)

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

This gluten free stuffing is out of this world delicious, easy to make, and everyone at your table will love it. It’s sure to become a favorite trimming at your Thanksgiving feast or any holiday meal.

Gluten Free StuffingThanksgiving just doesn’t seem like Thanksgiving without the stuffing. And this gluten-free version will delight everyone at your table.

In fact, I make sure to use my biggest casserole dish as everyone always clamors for seconds and thirds.

Not only can you serve your gluten free stuffing along side your favorite traditional holiday side dishes, but also try some new sides like super easy bacon brussels sprouts and delicious creamy sweet potato pie.

You might be wondering…

Why do some people call stuffing dressing?

Now some people believe that if it’s cooked inside a roast, it’s called stuffing and if it’s prepared outside the bird, then the proper name is dressing.

But many cooks, especially in the South, will call it dressing regardless of how it’s prepared.

Either way, I call it yummy. 😊

Ingredients

So the savory ingredients for gluten-free stuffing are gluten-free bread (I use Udi’s bread), butter, onions, celery, bell peppers, garlic, parsley, sage, and thyme.

And, best of all, it takes only twenty minutes to prepare and then an hour in the oven.

Here’s a peek into my kitchen as I make stuffing. It’s easier than you think.

How To Make Gluten Free Stuffing

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post. 

To begin, preheat your oven to 350℉.

Then melt butter over a medium heat in a large skillet. Next add your onions, celery, green pepper, garlic, and parsley. Cook and stir, about 5 minutes.

Then remove your skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.

This is about the time when your family may come running into the kitchen to see what you’re making that smells so good. 

O.K. back to the stuffing, now butter a large shallow baking dish and turn your bread cubes into the dish. Add the veggie mixture to the bread and mix gently.

Finally, stir in chicken broth and toss until well combined.

And you’re ready to cover and bake your stuffing for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes.

Pro tips and recipe notes

  • Feel free to use any kind of gluten-free bread you prefer. More of a cornbread stuffing lover? Go ahead and use a gluten-free cornbread.
  • Some breads are more absorbent than others. Make sure your bread is moist when adding the broth without becoming overly soggy. Nobody likes soggy stuffing and at the same time we don’t want it too dry. Add your broth a half cup at a time to be sure it’s just right.
  • I just love the herbs and veggies in this recipe, but you can certainly modify the recipe to suit your taste.
  • What ingredients will you add? Rosemary? Apples? Sausage? Cranberries? Nuts? It’s up to you.
  • You can also swap out a gluten-free vegetable broth instead of chicken broth if you prefer.
  • Need to make it dairy-free? No problem. Instead of butter, use a dairy-free butter substitute like Earth Balance. 
  • This recipe can be prepared the day before and kept covered in the fridge until needed.

Gluten Free Stuffing

There you go. A delicious homemade stuffing to serve amongst your traditional side dishes. And the best part is, it’s gluten-free. 

I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving and get to enjoy a lot of your traditional favorite foods. Enjoy precious time with your family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

      That’s my goal, Joyce, to put the quick and delicious back into gluten free cooking so that you can prepare tasty and healthy meals and still have time to get back to doing the things you enjoy.

    Hi Barbara,
    I’m very new to gluten-free and am enjoying browsing your website. This stuffing recipe looks delicious. I haven’t sourced out Udi’s bread, yet, and have a question. You call this cornbread stuffing, but I’m not seeing cornbread in the ingredient list. Is Udi’s a cornbread?
    Thank you!

      Hello Karen,
      Thanks for the heads-up.
      I’m so glad that you are enjoying the website.
      Oops, I have been making this stuffing for years and I must have misread the label on the Udi’s bread; I thought it was corn based. I have revised the recipe title and description.
      Indeed this is a delicious gluten free stuffing and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

        Barbara,
        Thanks for the reply. Being from the south, I am used to cornbread dressing (a southern thing), but your recipe looks very good. I can hardly keep myself from tweaking a recipe, so I might add some gluten-free cornbread with the gluten-free bread.
        Thanks,
        Karen

    Are the herbs fresh or dried? It will make a difference to the measurements, right?

      Excellent question, Catherine.
      The measurements for the sage and thyme are for dried herbs. The parsley is fresh.
      Thanks so much. ❤︎

    […] What I love about this dish is that I can even prepare it a few days before the holiday (which means I can get a head start on the holiday cooking). It will keep in the refrigerator up to four days in advance. When it’s time to serve, I can just reheat the purée over a low heat on top of the stove (this also makes it a perfect side dish to bring to a holiday party along with gluten free stuffing!).
