Thanksgiving Products You Can Use

Turkey

Note: Most fresh and frozen turkey's are gluten free. Be VERY cautious with "self-basting" turkeys and do not use the included gravy packet that may come with a turkey.

Butterball

I haven't found any gluten-free stuffing mixes, but then, my own homemade gluten-free stuffing is so good that I haven't looked for any recently. Does anyone have specific brand names?

Gluten Free Pantry has one - Open Original Shared Link. I did a mock Thanksgiving dinner last week to try out some recipes as this will be my first gluten free Thanksgiving. The stuffing came out really well. My non gluten free husband even enjoyed it.

Yes, the holidays don't have to be daunting. I'm glad to pass that information on.

For those who are not bakers, Philly Cream Cheese has seasonal "Cheese Cake" in a Tub near the refrigerator section at your grocery store. It is ready to go and gluten free. It's great with some Cool Whip and Cinnamon sprinkled on top....less time in the kitchen and more with family. :)

Ive been doing a gluten-free thanksgiving for years..i never even mention that fact to my guests!! REally!! I use a fresh turkey--organic--and stuff it with a rice and dried fruit stuffing..i have also used cornbread. Mashed potatoes..sweet potatoes with strusel topping (gluten-free oatmeal)..Brussel sprouts with carmelized onions...chebe bread...butternut squash -(lots of different preparations--they are nearly all gluten-free) and I do an apple crisp and pumpkin mousse for dessert..often I add some gluten-free brownies. I thik that thanksgiving is one of the easiest gluten-free holidays! No one ever seems to complain and they keep returning each year..so i must be doing something right or my firends are just really really hungry!!!! :rolleyes:

That list was wonderful and a good help to all. I might have to go check out that Cheese Cake you were talking about. It sounds very good :)

Does anyone have a really good stuffing recipe that uses saffron? I love the saffron flavor in stuffing, but I haven't found any great recipes yet.

I've cooked the Honeysuckle White turkey for a few meals now and my husband has had no problems with it. To me, it tastes as good as the Butterball.

Thanks for the list, especially the pumpkin filling. I'm thinking of making a pumpkin mousse and wasn't sure how to go about it. Now I can use the filling and cool whip in the recipe. There is no crust to worry about and it's delicious.

I was also thinking of making a pie for the holiday with apples, raisins, and cranberries. Which crust mix do you recommend?

I made this fruit mixture before and served it warm. It's a simple easy dessert to make. Just slice the apples into bite size pieces, put them in a good size pan with some sugar, cinammon,and water, let them get to a boil, throw in the fresh cranberries, turn the stove down to simmer, throw in the raisins and a bit of corn starch to thicken. Simmer until the cranberries are popped open, remove from heat and allow to cool a bit before serving. It will thicken more while cooling. I did put a bit of Cool Whip on mine. Yummy.

That sounds like a wonderful filling for a crumble! Might add some walnuts to it. We're eating at home this year (first year gluten-free and don't want to put the in-laws out) and want to take a dessert when we go visit. This would definitely work! :)

Such fabulous ideas on this thread! Thanks!

Another quick and easy dessert recipe -

Jello Whip

1 0.6 oz. Box Jello (any flavor) - I like Strawberry

1 1/2 cup boiling water

2 1/2 cups ice cubes

1 tub of Cool Whip - Defrosted

Stir boiling water into Jello mix for 2 minutes until completely disolved. Mix in ice cubes until slightly thickened. Remove remaining ice.

Add Cool Whip. Mix with blender until Jello and Cool Whip are blended well. Refrigerate.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
