Any Small, Cheap gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes For One?

Well, I have posted this once before... But I don't think I did it right.

I need cheap to make recipes/boxed food to make for Thanksgiving. Everything at my family's TG will contain gluten, so I need to make something that I can eat, and still feel like I am eating a TG dinner.

Any ideas?

I am already making gluten-free oatmeal raisen cookies, and possibly a gluten-free apple crisp.

Turkey breast in a crockpot covered with bacon and oranges. Or brine it and bake it.

Sweet potatoes

mashed 'taters

green beans with toasted almond slivers

gravy using cornstarch and arrow root flour

What would you like to eat?

Individual cornish hen

Mashed potatoes from scratch (potatoes, milk, butter, salt and pepper)

Green beans

Gravy made with cornstarch

Cranberry relish (cranberries, orange, sugar - recipe on back of cranberry bag)

You could make a small batch of corn bread for a roll/biscuit, and then use the rest to make stuffing...cornbread, butter, broth, veggies.

Good luck!

Since I posted this, I have been doing a little looking around.

So far, I have this:

Main: Cornish Hen / Small Turkey Breast

Side: Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (home made or gluten-free version from the WFmarket)

Dessert: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and this...

Frozen Cranberries thawed

Fresh apples sliced

Possibly another fruit/strawberries?

A touch of corn syrup with brown sugar and cinnamon

Topped with gluten free flour mix, or left alone and baked...

Sound good?

Anyone know where to find a box of Gluten-Free stuffing mix that doesn't cost a fortune?

I make this for my daughter and myself. It's enough for two so there would be leftovers. Start with a can of turkey, including the broth. Dump it in a pan (I use a large, deep, skillet). Add a spoonful or two of sweet rice flour (depending on how thick you like your gravy). Heat through, stirring. Serve over mashed potatoes.

For my husband, I do turkey legs either in the oven or in the crockpot. He really likes those.

Another thing that I have done in the past is to make turkey rollups. We weren't gluten-free then but it would be easy enough to make that way.

Start with some purchased turkey cut in thick slices. Put some prepared stuffing in the middle and roll up. Put the slices in a baking dish, cover with gravy and heat through.

If you can do tapioca, there's glutenfree tapioca stuffing on the market at the moment. That, a glutenfree gravy, some mashed potatoes (or yams), cranberry sauce, and some sliced turkey (if you have a trustworthy deli ask your butcher to cut you a couple thick slices of turkey breast) work great. Maybe some mixed vegetables too.

For dessert there are lots of possibilities at trader joe's and whole foods among others.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack ...

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overa...

      Juce Super Fruit & Veggie Vitamin Blend

      Yes, I don't recommend barley or wheat grass, even though technically speaking if it's made using ONLY the pure grass it is gluten-free, however, I've witnessed them make it at Jamba Juice and the seeds/kernels often get mixed into the grass before they juice it, so in that case would not be safe.

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
