Share a complete Thanksgiving menu that’s completely gluten-free! Check the details below.
Hello friends! How’s your week going? I hope you are having a great time so far. I’m here to get on with work, I’m really, really looking forward to Thanksgiving next month – my favorite holiday!
Thanksgiving is almost always celebrated with elaborate foods, desserts and drinks, but many traditional Thanksgiving dishes such as gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. may contain gluten. If your family members (or you!) are gluten-free or gluten-intolerant, planning a gluten-free Thanksgiving meal can seem daunting. Don’t worry! There are tons of gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes you can make, and yes, they’re just as good as traditional Thanksgiving foods! Today, I’m sharing a gluten-free Thanksgiving menu (including gluten-free Thanksgiving side dishes and my favorite Thanksgiving dessert) to help you whip up a spread everyone can enjoy!
*Note: If any family members have celiac disease, be especially careful of cross-contamination.
Here is a collection of delicious recipes that you can enjoy as part of your Thanksgiving dinner. All of these are gluten free, and many of them are vegan too!
Gluten Free Thanksgiving Menu
The Best Thanksgiving Turkey on Earth
The turkey is the star of the show, and while cooking a whole turkey, aka the star of the Thanksgiving table, can seem daunting, it’s actually quite easy with this foolproof brine recipe that makes the turkey super moist and delicious! !
The easiest turkey gravy ever
This recipe it’s not designed to be gluten-free, but swap out the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour and voila! love Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking mix.
Sweet Potato Casserole
Forget the marshmallows (don’t throw any at me)! I prefer a crumble-esque topping! This gluten-free Thanksgiving side dish uses oats. Just make sure you use certified gluten-free oats.
Pulled BBQ Chicken Deviled Eggs
I don’t know what deviled eggs are, but they disappear so quickly at any holiday gathering. They’re the perfect quick bite, and these natural gluten-free bbqs have a fun southern twist. You can easily keep them dairy free if you want or need to. See the recipe here!
Make-Ahead Vegan Green Bean Casserole
This Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole is SO much better using fresh ingredients instead of canned soups, and I love that you can make it a day or two ahead of time and pop it in the oven before the feast. Just be sure to use gluten-free flour and make sure the gluten free crispy onions. They have them at Sprout’s and Whole Foods.
Green beans with almonds, goat cheese and cranberries
This is a great recipe if you want to change things up and move away from the traditional green bean casserole. It’s lively and fresh, with a little sweetness from the cranberries.
Roasted Honey-Dijon Root Vegetables
I like to use different colored carrots for this. It’s a little spicy, a little sweet, and a great way to add more veggies to your Thanksgiving spread. The recipe is here.
Gluten-free filling
This gluten-free stuffing is simple, flavorful, customizable, and doesn’t use a million ingredients. I like to change the filling a little each year. Sometimes I add sausage and other times I use cranberries or try a different type of bread. I have been making gluten free stuffing for several years now and it always tastes great. No one can say they are gluten free!
Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie
Omgggg you guys. This pie is incredible. It’s impressive, it tastes ridiculous, and the only trade-offs you have to make are using one premade gluten-free pie crustand gluten-free flour mix. Trust me, everyone will be asking you for the recipe!
If you’re more of a cake person, check out this pumpkin cake recipe.
Silky Sweet Potato Pie
This pie it has a gluten-free crust and is lower in sugar than many of the pie recipes out there. I haven’t tried this but I’m adding it to our Christmas/Winter menu!
So tell me, friends: what’s on your Thanksgiving menu this year? Do you do the cooking or just bring a side dish/dessert? Please shout out any tried and true favorites in the comments section!
