10 Favorite Gluten Free Thanksgiving Recipes

You’ll be the top chef with these gluten free Thanksgiving recipe favorites that can be enjoyed by everyone at the holiday table.


I have an extra special post for you today! I’ve compiled my family’s favorite gluten-free recipes that I make each year for our Thanksgiving dinner.

I love cooking for our holiday feast, but it can be a little tricky to reinvent the Thanksgiving staples for those who have gluten intolerance. How to enjoy stuffing or turkey gravy or apple pie that are usually made with wheat flour?

Not to fear! Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving in your home or visiting friends and family, you’ll be the top chef with these delicious dishes that can be enjoyed by everyone at the holiday table.

Gluten Free Velvety Smooth Gravy

Most gravy is thickened with wheat flour so I love to accompany the turkey with my own homemade, velvety smooth gravy made with the turkey drippings. Yum.

Gluten Free Stuffing Recipe

Thanksgiving just doesn’t seem like Thanksgiving without the stuffing. Several of the secret ingredients to my savory, gluten-free version are Udi’s bread, 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. I make sure to use my biggest casserole dish as everyone always clamors for seconds and thirds.

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Now, this beautiful pie could be reserved for dessert, but I usually sneak it onto the table as a side dish with the ham and turkey. What’s more, it can be made in a gluten free pie shell or without the crust as a creamy pudding. Let me show you how to make this scrumptious sweet potato dish both ways. With the first bite, you’ll fall in love with its sweet, creamy goodness.

    That pumpkin crisp looks wonderful, as do all the recipes. I don’t need to abstain from gluten, but these selections would stand alone.

    A couple of years ago I was at my cousin’s house for Thanksgiving. She included several dishes that were gluten free. Took a bite into a few of the dishes. ‘Hmmm tastes like something is missing – yes, that’s right. It’s missing the Gluten!’ Became a family joke. These dishes look wonderful. I’m going to share your page with my cousin.

    We try to eat as gluten free as possible even though we do not have Celiacs. Our overall goal is to follow a low carb diet because we feel better. I am always looking for GF recipes. I particularly like the bacon and brussel sprouts.

      Hi, Gina! A lot of folks are finding that they feel better without gluten.

      Half my family has gluten intolerance. They must eat gluten free. Hence, I determined to take our favorite recipes and make them gluten free.

      Over the years, though, we’ve discovered that simply substituting gluten containing ingredients with gluten-free ingredients isn’t enough. We all have adopted a diet based on whole foods (organic whenever possible).

      Bacon Brussels sprouts are tasty. Let me know how your family likes them if you make them. Have a wonderful holiday weekend. 🙂
