Thanksgiving Products You Can Use

Turkey

Note: Most fresh and frozen turkey's are gluten free. Be VERY cautious with "self-basting" turkeys and do not use the included gravy packet that may come with a turkey.

Butterball

I haven't found any gluten-free stuffing mixes, but then, my own homemade gluten-free stuffing is so good that I haven't looked for any recently. Does anyone have specific brand names?

Gluten Free Pantry has one - Open Original Shared Link. I did a mock Thanksgiving dinner last week to try out some recipes as this will be my first gluten free Thanksgiving. The stuffing came out really well. My non gluten free husband even enjoyed it.

Yes, the holidays don't have to be daunting. I'm glad to pass that information on.

For those who are not bakers, Philly Cream Cheese has seasonal "Cheese Cake" in a Tub near the refrigerator section at your grocery store. It is ready to go and gluten free. It's great with some Cool Whip and Cinnamon sprinkled on top....less time in the kitchen and more with family. :)

Ive been doing a gluten-free thanksgiving for years..i never even mention that fact to my guests!! REally!! I use a fresh turkey--organic--and stuff it with a rice and dried fruit stuffing..i have also used cornbread. Mashed potatoes..sweet potatoes with strusel topping (gluten-free oatmeal)..Brussel sprouts with carmelized onions...chebe bread...butternut squash -(lots of different preparations--they are nearly all gluten-free) and I do an apple crisp and pumpkin mousse for dessert..often I add some gluten-free brownies. I thik that thanksgiving is one of the easiest gluten-free holidays! No one ever seems to complain and they keep returning each year..so i must be doing something right or my firends are just really really hungry!!!! :rolleyes:

Does anyone have a really good stuffing recipe that uses saffron? I love the saffron flavor in stuffing, but I haven't found any great recipes yet.

I've cooked the Honeysuckle White turkey for a few meals now and my husband has had no problems with it. To me, it tastes as good as the Butterball.

Thanks for the list, especially the pumpkin filling. I'm thinking of making a pumpkin mousse and wasn't sure how to go about it. Now I can use the filling and cool whip in the recipe. There is no crust to worry about and it's delicious.

I was also thinking of making a pie for the holiday with apples, raisins, and cranberries. Which crust mix do you recommend?

I made this fruit mixture before and served it warm. It's a simple easy dessert to make. Just slice the apples into bite size pieces, put them in a good size pan with some sugar, cinammon,and water, let them get to a boil, throw in the fresh cranberries, turn the stove down to simmer, throw in the raisins and a bit of corn starch to thicken. Simmer until the cranberries are popped open, remove from heat and allow to cool a bit before serving. It will thicken more while cooling. I did put a bit of Cool Whip on mine. Yummy.

That sounds like a wonderful filling for a crumble! Might add some walnuts to it. We're eating at home this year (first year gluten-free and don't want to put the in-laws out) and want to take a dessert when we go visit. This would definitely work! :)

Such fabulous ideas on this thread! Thanks!

Another quick and easy dessert recipe -

Jello Whip

1 0.6 oz. Box Jello (any flavor) - I like Strawberry

1 1/2 cup boiling water

2 1/2 cups ice cubes

1 tub of Cool Whip - Defrosted

Stir boiling water into Jello mix for 2 minutes until completely disolved. Mix in ice cubes until slightly thickened. Remove remaining ice.

Add Cool Whip. Mix with blender until Jello and Cool Whip are blended well. Refrigerate.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
