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.

These are some good roll recipes:

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!

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

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      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.
