Are you cooking Thanksgiving dinner for someone with Celiac’s disease or sensitivity to gluten? Do not despair! Even Thanksgiving recipes, in all their wheat-y goodness, can be made both gluten-free and delicious.
Gluten lurks in a host of pre-packaged ingredients often used on Thanksgiving like gravy mix, stuffing seasoning and cranberry sauce. Omitting these pre-packaged ingredients will be necessary, but this can make the Thanksgiving cooking much more laborious.
To save cooks time, BigOven has compiled full pre-planned gluten-free menus that can easily be customized and added to the cook’s grocery list. All menus are available on BigOven’s mobile apps, so cooks can take them to the store. See a sampling below.

Cooking a gluten-free Thanksgiving meal doesn’t require cooks to forego the classics. Even stuffing and pie can be made gluten-free by the conscious cook.
Gluten Free Stuffing Tips: Substitute gluten-free white bread or gluten-free cornbread into any stuffing recipe. Some cooks may not like the taste and texture of gluten-free bread. Luckily, stuffing is the perfect dish to disguise any bread – cooks should simply cube and toast the bread, then follow their favorite stuffing recipe and it will soak up the flavors beautifully. Here’s a few to try with the gluten-free bread substitution: Cornbread Stuffing with Poblano Peppers Mushroom Stuffing with Shallots and Fresh Herbs Mom’s Stuffing
Stuffing doesn’t have to be made with bread – quinoa and rice lend well to side dishes reminiscent of stuffing’s hearty, warm, comfort-food feeling.
