Share a complete Thanksgiving menu that’s completely gluten-free! Check the details below.
Hello friends! How’s your week going? I hope you are having a great time so far. I’m here for work and I’m really, really looking forward to Thanksgiving next week – my favorite holiday!
Thanksgiving is almost always celebrated with an elaborate spread of foods, desserts, and drinks, while some traditional Thanksgiving dishes such as gravy, stuffing, casserole, etc. may contain gluten. Some members of your family (or you!) may be gluten intolerant or may be gluten free. Planning a gluten-free Thanksgiving menu can seem daunting, but how can you prepare many gluten-free dishes that are just as good as all the traditional Thanksgiving recipes? Today, I’m sharing a gluten-free Thanksgiving menu to help you create a variety that everyone can enjoy!
*Note: if any family members have celiac disease, be especially careful of cross-contamination.
Here’s a roundup of delicious meals you can enjoy this Thanksgiving – all of them are gluten-free and many of them are vegan too!
Gluten Free Thanksgiving Menu
The best Thanksgiving turkey in all the land
The turkey is the star of the show, and while it may seem daunting, it’s very easy with this foolproof brine recipe. It makes the turkey super moist and delicious!!
The easiest turkey gravy
This recipe it’s not designed to be gluten-free, but simply swap out the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour. I love Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking mix.
Sweet Potato Casserole
Forget the marshmallows (don’t throw anything at me) but I prefer a crumble-esque topping! Does this use oats? just make sure they’re certified gluten-free.
Pulled BBQ Chicken Deviled Eggs
I don’t know what deviled eggs are, but they disappear so quickly at any holiday gathering. It’s the perfect quick bite, and these barbecues have a fun southern twist. See the recipe here!
Make the Vegan Green Bean Casserole
This is SO much better using fresh ingredients instead of canned soups, and I love that you can make it a day or two ahead of time and pop it in the oven before the feast. Just make sure to remove the gluten free flour and make sure the crispy onions are gluten free. They have them at Sprout’s and Whole Foods.
Beans with almonds, goat cheese and cranberries
This is a great recipe if you want to change things up from the traditional green bean casserole. It’s lively and fresh, with a little sweetness from the cranberries.
Roasted Honey-Dijon Root Vegetables
I like to use different colored carrots for this. It’s a little spicy, a little sweet, and a great way to add more veggies to the spread. The recipe is here.
Gluten-free filling
This is simple, very tasty, you can customize it, and it doesn’t use a million ingredients. I like to change the filling a little each year. Sometimes I add sausage, cranberries or try a different type of bread. I had made gluten free stuffing for several years, it always tastes amazing and no one can tell it is gluten free.
Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie
Omgggg you guys. This pie is incredible. It’s impressive, it tastes ridiculous, and the only trade-offs you need to make are to use a pre-made gluten-free pie crust and gluten-free flour mix. Everyone will ask you what recipe you used.
Silky Sweet Potato Pie
This pie it has a gluten-free crust and is lower in sugar than many of the pie recipes out there. I haven’t tried this but I’m adding it to our Christmas/Winter menu!
So tell me, friends: what’s on your Thanksgiving menu this year? Do you do the cooking or just bring a side dish/dessert? Please shout out any tried and true favorites in the comments section!
