    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 intolerance and allergies.  But don't worry, you can have all of your favorite holiday 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 9x13 baking dish for a larger gathering.

    Why you'll love this gluten free stuffing recipe

    • It's filled with all the flavors of the holidays.
    • It is perfect for Thanksgiving.
    • It's super easy to prepare only about 10 minutes of hands on time.
    • It's gluten free and dairy free and easily made vegetarian.

    Ingredient List

    Ingredients for gluten free stuffing on a white table.
    • Gluten Free Bread Cubes - I have tested this with Canyon Bakehouse country white bread and Schar baguettes. Both worked well. You can use your favorite brand of gluten free bread.
    • Celery
    • Onions
    • Garlic
    • Parsley
    • Poultry Seasoning - A mixture of dried herbs that is crucial to creating the flavor you associate with stuffing.
    • Salt
    • Vegan Butter - I use Miyoko's Plant Butter or Country Crock Plant Butter for all of my cooking and baking.  You can use your favorite brand.  If you're not dairy free, regular butter will work in the same measure.
    • Eggs
    • Chicken Broth - If you're following a gluten free diet, make sure you find gluten free chicken broth.  This is a common ingredient with hidden gluten.  I like Pacific Foods brand.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • Not Dairy Free - use dairy butter in the same measure.
    • Make it Vegetarian - Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian stuffing.

    How to Make Gluten Free Stuffing

    This recipe is very easy to make and only takes a few minutes of hands on time.

    Breadcrumbs and seasoning being combined in a metal bowl.
    • DRY bread cubes on a baking sheet in open air for at least 24 hours before cooking.
    • HEAT the olive oil and aromatics (onion, celery and garlic)
    • COMBINE chicken stock, eggs and melted butter
    • POUR vegetables and chicken stock mixture over the breadcrumbs.
    • STIR gently to coat the bread.
    • BAKE in a 8x8 casserole dish.  Double the recipe for a 9x13 size pan.

    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.

    Recipe FAQs

    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.

    What is the best gluten free bread for making stuffing?

    I personally like Canyon Bakehouse bread, but I have also made this recipe with Schar brand and it turned out great.  You can use your favorite gluten free bread just make sure you have a 15 ounce loaf.

    Can I cook this stuffing inside a turkey?

    Yes.  Place the stuffing in the turkey right before baking.  Ensure the internal temperature, measured in the stuffing, reaches 165 degrees before serving.
