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

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back.  My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time.  But I passed on them.

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure! Thank you kitty kitty   I am going to look this diet up right away.  And read the paleo diet and really see if I can make this a better situation then it currently is.

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!
