    Celiac.com's Best Ever Gluten-free Thanksgiving Guide!

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 11/09/2009 - Every year around the holidays, celiac.com likes to remind folks that, with a little of planning and a few tips, anyone with celiac disease or gluten intolerance can enjoy a safe, delicious gluten-free Thanksgiving and holiday season without fear of accidentally eating gluten.

    Gluten-free Thanksgiving Turkey and Stuffing RecipeIf you're planning to make your own gluten-free turkey dinner, here are some helpful tips to help it go smoothly:

    • Start your gluten-free holiday dinner with a gluten-free turkey. Not all brands of turkey are gluten-free. Some contain gluten in their additives—so, as with everything else, check the ingredients and use our Open Original Shared Link or our Open Original Shared Link to help you shop.
    • Demand gluten-free stuffing! Accept no substitute. Don’t risk gluten-based stuffing in your turkey. Instead, try Open Original Shared Link.
    • Make simple, delicious gluten-free gravy using either a Open Original Shared Link, or a Open Original Shared Link. Remember, some bouillon cubes contain gluten, so be sure to use Open Original Shared Link. Tip: Thicken your homemade gravy with either corn starch or arrowroot flour.
    • Prepare easy, tasty gluten-free side dishes by browsing celiac.com's extensive listing of Open Original Shared Link, where you will find side dishes to impress even the snootiest gourmet.
    • Order Open Original Shared Link and other hard-to-find items like prepared Open Original Shared Link ahead of time for convenience—this will allow you to spend more time with friends and family rather than spending all of your time in the kitchen! Many excellent prepared gluten-free products can now be ordered and delivered directly to your door from places like the Open Original Shared Link.

    Celiac.com's Best Ever Gluten-free Stuffing Recipe

    Ingredients:
    5-6 cups gluten-free bread (about 2 loaves), cut into one-inch cubes, toasted and cooled
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    3 cups celery, chopped
    1 large yellow onion, chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
    1-2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
    1-2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
    1 egg yolk
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper

    Directions:
    Sautee the onion and celery in olive oil on medium-low heat until translucent.

    Stir in the rosemary, sage, and thyme, and cook another one or two minutes, until the aroma of the herbs fills the air.

    Bring the chicken stock to boil on high heat. Place the egg yolk in a medium-sized bowl and carefully spoon two or three ounces of the chicken stock into the egg yolk, slowly, while whisking the mixture.

    Add the rest of the chicken stock to the egg mixture. (blending a small amount of stock into the egg first will prevent scrambled eggs.)

    Add the cooled celery, onion, and herbs mixture into the stock and egg mixture. Toss the bread cubes into this mixture and coat thoroughly.

    Add the salt and pepper and toss bread a bit more.

    Place all of this into a greased casserole dish (big enough to hold three quarts) and cover it with aluminum foil.

    Place in 400°F oven for 40-50 min, covering as needed with aluminum foil, until done. Insert a toothpick into the stuffing. If it comes out clean, the stuffing is done. If not, bake until the toothpick comes out clean.

    If you want to cook the stuffing inside the turkey add only 1 cup of Chicken broth.

    Serves six to eight people, depending on their appetite for stuffing.
