Specific Thanksgiving Recipes

I know there have been a couple threads on here about a gluten-free Thanksgiving. I'm looking for a couple recipes and I haven't really found any that are really what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for:

a cornbread stuffing recipe-never made cornbread stuffing but I figure it'll be easier for a gluten-free stuffing.

pumpkin pie

pie crust

another kind of Thanksgiving dessert

gravy-exact measurements?

I'm completely stuck when it comes to gluten-free rolls. Should I bake some or buy some? I'm the only one in my family that is gluten-free so I don't want to put my family through a ton of trouble. Do you have any brand suggestions for mixes or already made rolls? I'm really worried about Thanksgiving to tell you the truth. I don't think I'll be able to eat much that will be there and I'm not a huge meat eater so I don't want to make myself a whole turkey. I'm just completely dumbstruck. Any help?

If you have to make/bring your own turkey, consider a breast only. They are fairly large so you'll get plenty and some leftovers. They cook is less time, but they are more expensive than turkeys-don't remember if it was per pound or as a whole but I remember them being more expensive. You could also roast a bone-in-skin on chicken breast. I don't like skin but it helps hold in the moisture- takes about 20 min. That would be tasty with some stuffing on the side.

Here's the recipe to my favorite pumpkin cheesecake. Other good recipes - Open Original Shared Link

my favorite pumpkin cheesecake recipe, which I made last year and others on the board did as well. I was the only Celiac at T-G and they loved it. It is actually very easy, because the ONLY substitution is for the graham cracker crumbs....the rest is naturally gluten free.

I would suggest a sweet-potato pie. Just use any pumpkin pie recipe and sub sweet-p for the pumpkin. I usually just go by feel and taste, but a rough idea of what I use is;

1-1/2 to 2 cups sweet potato mash

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 stick butter

3 eggs

1 tsp each of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice

1/2 cup or so of sugar, to taste.

Sometimes I'll throw in some molasses. Makes it nice and dark and extra sweet

If you imbibe, I also suggest adding a couple tablespoons of rum.

Not lo-cal by any means, but definitely tasty.

For crust I like Annalise Robert's recipe, but any will do. I like the ginger cookie idea here, and that is what I am going to try next.

I also like Pamela's bread mix made into rolls.

I made that no-bake pumpkin cheesecake that PURPLE posted (from recipezaar) with gluten-free cinnamon snaps (mi-del) for a party last weekend, it was a MAJOR hit!

HiDee Rookie

PS For gravy, I just read the directions on the corn starch box. ARGO is labeled gluten free.

I once found a yummy gluten free, dairy free pumpkin custard recipe online, not 100% sure where, but I usually get my recipes from allrecipes.com so I'll probably head there again for it this year.

I have a deadly-delish gluten-free peanutbutter cookie/bar recipe that I found on the above site. I posted an gluten-free apple-pie in the recipe forum, I'm too lazy to pull up the link, sorry <<sheepish grin>>

I usually load up on the potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies, salads and desserts since I'm also not a fan of turkey :) mmmmm food coma, hehe. Being overseas, I miss out a bit on all this, and dh doesn't understand how it's a big deal! He'll see when we move to the states, turkey time!

If you are cooking your own poultry pieces, like missy's mom suggested, if you combine the breast, some potatoes, carrots, zuchinni, and/or any veggies you like, a bit of water, spices and bake in either an oven bag or covered in foil, it keeps the moisture in the chicken/turkey. I have also made chicken on rice in the oven and it came our super moist and yummy!

gobble gobble everyone!

You may already be familiar with this site, but if not, here's a link to a blog called "A Year of CrockPotting" (all gluten free recipes); she's posted several Thanksgiving recipes, and this is her cornbread stuffing:

She also has a recipe for regular bread stuffing (gluten-free bread). You don't have to use a crockpot to make the stuffings, of course.

Our posts were lost...Many people just use the recipe on the back of the Libby's pumpkin can for pie.

Hey guys,

I need the best recipe for Dressing. I see the one above but I want to cook it in the oven so it will be crunchy.

Also.. does anyone know if it's better to make a cake from scratch or buy a boxed one?

If you know of a good box of yellow cake mix let me know!

Thanks

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
