With Thanksgiving right around the corner, you’ll want to make sure to save this gluten free stuffing recipe. Gatherings that center around food are always tough when you’re dealing with food intolerances and allergies. But don’t worry, you can have all of your favorite Thanksgiving food with a few ingredient changes. I know you’ll love this recipe, which has been adapted from my family’s decades old stuffing recipe. This will make about 8 servings of stuffing, but can easily be doubled and baked in a 9×13 baking dish.

How to Make a Homemade Stuffing
Step 1 – At least one day before, cut your gluten bread into cubes and spread it on a baking sheet. Leave the cubes out to dry until you’re ready to cook.
Step 2 – Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the garlic and seasoning. Cook about 3 minutes more. Pour the cooked vegetables over the bread cubes.
Step 3 – Combine the chicken stock, egg and melted butter together. Pour over the bread cubes.
Step 4 – Gently stir the bread cube mixture to coat with the seasoning.
Step 5 – Spread the bread cubes into a 9×7 inch casserole dish (you can also use an 8×8 casserole). Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
What to Serve With Gluten Free Stuffing
I think this stuffing pairs well with turkey (traditional), chicken or pork. It makes a great side dish year round and is so easy to make since most of the cook time is hands off.
How to Store & Reheat Stuffing
For short term storage (overnight), you can simply cover your casserole dish with aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator. For longer than overnight storage, I would recommend moving the leftover stuffing to an air tight container.
To reheat in the original dish, cover with foil and bake at 350 until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Otherwise for individual servings, reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes on high.
