6 Favorite Gluten Free Thanksgiving Recipes

You’ll be the top chef with these 6 favorite gluten free Thanksgiving recipes 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, but I’ve found a great tasting instant mix that is gluten free and made by Maxwell’s Kitchen. It takes minutes to prepare over the stove and is usually my go-to solution when I need to whip up gravy in a pinch. However, for Thanksgiving I love to accompany the turkey with my own homemade, velvety smooth gravy made with the turkey drippings. Yum.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of gluten free all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of the turkey drippings If you do not have drippings, you may use butter
• 1 cup of stock homemade or store bought
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• If you have cooked a turkey, pour the drippings into a measuring cup. The fat will separate to the top. Spoon off the fat.
• Next whisk together 2 tablespoons of gluten free all purpose flour or corn starch plus 2 tablespoons of the drippings in a pan until the mixture is thick and smooth. (If you do not have drippings, you may use butter.) Continue to stir and slowly brown the flour over a low heat for 5 minutes.
• Then add 1 cup of stock. Whisk and simmer so that the gravy stays smooth while it thickens.
• Season with herbs, salt, and pepper to taste.

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. Recipe here.
