Anyone Have A gluten-free/corn-free/egg-free Stuffing Recipe?

[ellen123]

Does anyone have a tried and true stuffing recipe that's gluten-free but also doesn't rely on cornbread? I have family members who have multiple food allergies (corn, casein, eggs) in addition to gluten intolerance. I've tried two experimental stuffings so far (stuffed a chicken each time) using gluten-free bread made primarily from brown rice flour and no corn (or dairy or eggs) but the texture is mealy and yucky, which was kind of predictable given how most gluten-free breads have a tendency to be dry and mealy. I'm thinking of experimenting with gluten-free crackers instead to see if that improves the texture, but I'm running out of time, and these experiments are getting expensive!

You could do a brown/wild rice/veggie type stuffing--that would be delicious. I think Tiffany (tarnelberry) has a recipe in her long recipe thread titled "As Promised, a Few Recipes."

If you have your heart set on a bread type stuffing, maybe a bread made with rice flour and potato starch? I did a stuffing last night (to pack up for Thanksgiving dinner away from home) using slices of bread which I toasted and buttered. I then just cut the toast up into cubes and added it to celery, onions and apples that I had sauteed in olive oil and butter. I added chicken broth and poultry seasonning to the veggies and let come to a boil before throwing in the bread cubes.

It was fantastic--and really easy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I was going to try a cornbread recipe using manioc (tapioca) meal. Probably won't be egg free though. If I do try it, and it works, I'll post the recipe.

Passing on a thought I haven't tried yet...sorry.

If you want to experiment again or sometime, you might try this bread for your stuffing bread:

It's gluten-free, egg free and dairy free. Just sub the cornstarch for potato starch.

It tastes alot like homemade gluten white bread. Its firm so it may not need to be dried much.

It makes great egg free french toast:

I freeze the leftover bread until I get a bag full for the french toast.

Off topic again but thought you might be interested in this too:

I use 1 1/2 cups almond milk and a frozen banana, thawed.

This might sound crazy but what if you used a sweet italian sausage and gluten-free bread mixture? The fat from the sausage would keep the stuffing pretty moist and would add texture..... I don't have a receipe but I just thought of it as that's what my grandmother from Italy used (except the gluten-free bread of course).

I just take two loaves of Tapioca Loaf, cut them into cubes, toast them on a cookie sheet, and then stir them around in a big pan with olive oil and spices... sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, then dice up onions, mushrooms and carrots, add broth and bake in a covered casserole dish.

In other words... I took a stuffing recipe from a cookbook that was as close to Stovetop Stuffing as I could find (that was always our favorite... not fancy stuffing but just Stovetop outta the box, before gluten became a problem) and then substituted Energy Tapioca Loaf for the bread in the recipe.

Thanks, everyone, for your great suggestions. I'm not sure which one I use but if whatever I do comes out successful, I'll let you know.
