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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
