Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Stuffing

  4.5 – 39 reviews  • Bread Stuffing and Dressing Recipes

The children I care for adore these pickles because red Kool Aid gives regular pickles a vibrant red hue and enhances their natural acidity by adding fruity sweetness. They are said to have their roots in the Southern US. They are reportedly bar nibbles, which may help to explain a lot. Although they are attractive, I must say that I am not really fond of them.

Prep Time: 10 mins

  1. 1 (1 pound) loaf gluten-free bread (such as Udi’s® Millet-Chia bread)
  2. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 2 medium onions, diced
  4. 3 stalks celery, diced

Well it looks soooo good. But we are saving it for Christmas Dinner tomorrow. I’ll update when we try it. It smells great too. CB
Jane Gomez
I followed the recipe, but a tad too dry for me.
Eric Burton
I make this recipe every year and everyone looks forward to it each time, I highly recommend it!
Alexandria Price
Turned out great! Just one thing….oil? No way does oil belong in stuffing! Butter all the way and the more the better!!!
Bradley Mcknight
I make this every thanksgiving and everyone loves it! This year I’m also making a keto version with Base Culture Keto bread!
Krystal Pennington
Delicious! The sage and vegetables give it a great flavor along with the chicken stock! And it was pretty easy to make.
Elizabeth Bright
Gluten free? No way! I had guests who are gluten free and I didn’t want to make two kinds of stuffing. I used Udi’s baguette but otherwise made as written. I agree with others to add more broth when I make it again because it was a little drier than I would like. Everyone was surprised it was gluten free.
Alexander Stevenson
It was amazing!!!
Joshua Zimmerman
I used Whole Foods brand stuffing cubes ( 2 8 oz. containers ). I also added 4 to 6 oz more chicken broth. I couldn’t find fresh sage at the last minute, so I used 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage.
Troy Hoffman
I followed the recipe and did not have enough flavor and a little dry. Added turkey broth, poultry seasoning and it kicked it up a notch and made it taste fantastic. A family favorite.
Michael Anderson
Worked really well for us; the key seems to be to make sure the bread is dried out. The one change I made was to saute the vegetables in butter instead of oil.
Thomas Matthews
To keep the stuffing from drying out I b lightly butter the bread and place it in the oven fir 15 minutes at 325 this allows the bread to stay moist
Aimee Howard
This dressing really satisfied my craving! It was even better as a leftover. I did follow the advice of others and used more chicken broth than the recipe called for. I did use UDI bread, toasted it, and found that it crumbled nicely to form a “cornbread like” dressing.

I added extra seasoning to taste. Additionally, my area (Nebraska) has an old Italian bakery (Rotella’s) which is making gluten free bread. The consistency is similar to potato bread, and it was perfect. (And actually tastes GREAT!) I doubled the recipe for 7 people and had very little left over. Next time, I am under strict orders to quadruple the recipe!

Best stuffing and easy to make. Used Udi’s Millet-Chia bread. Toasted in oven then combined and baked in my cast iron skillet. I’ve steered away from gluten for over three years and have missed good stuffing. No more. This is great. My husband, who is recently gluten free and compares things to their gluten counterparts, loved this too. I did not have fresh sage so used 1/2 tsp of ground. I am sure it would be even better with fresh but this worked too.
Eric Hill
I made this for Thanksgiving this year. I made it in the morning and followed the recipe exactly except I did not add the two eggs. At the last minute I remembered that my daughter-in-law can’t handle eggs, so I omitted them. Otherwise, everything was the same. RAVE reviews…my daughter-in-law asked for the recipe, plus I sent them home with all the leftovers!! I’m thinking about making this to stuff pork chops with. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
James Douglas
Easy and delicious..tasted as good as the dressing I traditionally make but without the gluten. I bought a loaf of white GF bread and made the bread cubes since it was cheaper and still had bread for sandwiches!
Linda Johnson
Made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it turned out well. I followed the directions without any changes, but when I make it again I will leave out the eggs. I didn’t care for the texture or the flavor they added. I like my stuffing drier than this recipe yielded, but overall a very good place to start. The hubby didn’t even know it was gluten free until I told him! He liked it, but agreed-no eggs.
Charles Delgado
****Careful what type of bread you use!!! Udi’s works best!**** This was a hit at our Friendsgiving dinner. I doubled the spices as was recommended. Also i added about 1and 1/2 cups of celery which works out to be about 3 sticks/ribs. Celery nomenclature can be confusing. 🙂 I will make this again. Update: I made this again for our family Thanksgiving and used a different bread. This bread was not as dense as the Udi’s brand. If using another lighter airier bread add less broth! It was way too mushy no matter what we tried. Also use a shallow pan and not a deep one.
Chad Johnson
Delicious!
Jill Jordan
I enjoyed shopping for the ingredients, I made it for our thanksgiving dinner and I included my niece to help me cut the bread cubes. My family enjoyed it, except my son did not like the herbs in it, he is picky with textures other than that I was truly impressed on how tasty this recipe is.
