Why This Is The Perfect Thanksgiving Side Dish
When it comes to planning my Thanksgiving menu, there’s one side dish that has to feature, and that’s stuffing! This gluten-free stuffing recipe is perfect if you or any of your friends and family have an intolerance, and those that don’t won’t even know the difference! It’s so perfectly crispy and quick and easy to make too. It’s the perfect pairing for your Thanksgiving turkey!
Can You Make It Ahead of Time?
You can make this stuffing the day before, so you have one less thing to do in the kitchen on the day! Once it is cooked, chill the stuffing and then store it covered in the fridge. The next day you can use it to stuff your turkey or bake it. To bake it, place the stuffing in a buttered casserole dish and place it in a preheated oven at 350F for 30 to 40 minutes.
An Easy Holiday Side Dish For The Whole Family
I love how simple and easy this stuffing is to make and it’s always a crowd-pleaser at our house. This recipe is really delicious and it’s just asking for gravy to be poured all over it!
Chef’s Tips
- Be sure to let the sliced bread air dry for at least an hour before cooking it. This will help it to get nice and crispy.
- Once it has cooked, chill the stuffing in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
- To make this recipe vegan and dairy-free, use vegan butter (like Miyoko’s) instead of butter and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Yes! You can make this stuffing the day before eating. Once it is cooked, chill the stuffing and then store it covered in the fridge.
For vegan stuffing, use vegan butter (like Miyoko’s) instead of butter and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
I like Canyon Bakehouse and Little Northern Bakehouse. If you are near a Trader Joe’s, their gluten free bread is amazing.

Incredible gluten free stuffing and very easy to make. If you are already at Trader Joe’s for their bread I highly recommend adding a pouch of the Citterio cubed uncured pancetta to the recipe just after you sauté the vegetables.
That sounds great, Matthew! Thanks so much for the review!
What brand of bread did you use, and which brand of bread would you recommend? Thanks.
