35 Gluten-Free Stuffing Recipes (and Dressing Recipes)

I started compiling this collection of delicious gluten-free stuffing recipes and gluten-free dressing recipes last year but ran out of time to finish it before the holidays. I didn’t think about this roundup of recipes again until yesterday.

Then I got busy finding all the best gluten-free stuffing and dressing recipes for you. Now it’s Thanksgiving Eve Eve. You need these stuffing and dressing recipes and you need them now!

Wait a second though. What’s the difference between stuffing and dressing anyway? Technically, stuffing recipes are defined as those that are actually stuffed in the cavity of the turkey and baked as it bakes. Dressing recipes are made from the same sort of ingredients but are served as a side dish instead, aka “dressing” for the turkey.

I’m pretty sure that most of us use those terms interchangeably though—and that’s okay with me.

What’s truly important is that our stuffing or dressing is really good. Company worthy. Holiday worthy.

There are so many stuffing and dressing preferences. I’m sure you have yours. Ingredients, appearance, and even the smell of stuffing all matter to those who have to have their stuffing during the holidays! But, thankfully (pun intended), I think we’ve covered a wide range of all of those factors in the recipes I’m sharing today.

Unfortunately, we still can’t offer smells—or bites—via websites. You actually have to make the recipe to see if it meets your personal requirements.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering—and this information is very, very important—you cannot safely eat a turkey in which gluten-full stuffing was used. Just say no when offered that turkey.

By the way, the same is also true of the famous beer can chicken. You can only eat the chicken in that case if the beer that’s used is gluten free (not gluten reduced or gluten “removed” beer—neither of which are safe for those who eat gluten free for medical reasons—but truly gluten-free beer that’s made from only gluten-free grains).

Now let’s get to one of the most quintessential recipes for the holidays! Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks so much Shirley for the yumminess! Going to hubbys Christmas dinner soon & that reminded me to call the restaurant & discuss the menu. Never would have thought of it otherwise & they’re having a turkey dinner! Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family!!

  Hi Lynne—You’re welcome, of course! Compiling all these stuffing recipes made me hungry! I also love the idea of the stuffing muffins. I’ve seen them called “stuffins.” 🙂
  I, too, have a Christmas dinner for my husband’s company coming up. It’s a place we’ve been several times over the years and I’ve never had an issue but I will call them a few days ahead of time to make sure there are options or I’ll eat something at home before I go. They’ve always had safe choices for me—and delicious ones at that, though—so I don’t expect it to be an issue. I hope you learn that they can accommodate you safely with no issues!
  Thanks so much for the Thanksgiving wishes! Hope you and your family have a special Thanksgiving as well!

Shirley,
So many wonderful idea! I love the chestnut and the cauliflower stuffings. Since I don’t make Turkey ( vegetarian) I don’t usually make stuffing- but what a great idea to stuff a squash with a holiday stuffing.
Your gluten free roundups are great resources and fun. Have a happy and gluten free Thanksgiving

  I’m so glad you appreciated those “alternative stuffing recipes, Judee. I say “alternative” but I actually believe chestnut-based stuffings have been around a long time. My late mother-in-law would make stuffing using chestnuts grown on her tree. And, yes, so many vegetarian foods can be stuffed, which makes for fun and deliciousness.
  Thanks as always for the sweet feedback! Our Thanksgiving was just wonderful. Hope yours was as well!

Thanks so much, what a find! We did sausage stuffing this year, our first year without Pepperidge Farm! It was very good, but it got soggy after a few days so we baked it and voila! My husband did all the cooking, I was very unwell for Thanksgiving and am not yet recovered. So that’s what I’m thankful for this year, his support. He worked really hard on the stuffing, so I’m going to share this with him.

  Hi Angelica–First, welcome to gfe! I’m so sorry you weren’t well for Thanksgiving and are still not well but I’m so happy that your husband was able to step in for Thanksgiving this year. Sausage stuffing sounds good to me! (By the way, I have to admit that I, too, was a big fan of Pepperidge Farm stuffing back in the day.) When you’re all well next year (fingers crossed you’ll be well much sooner than that, of course), I hope you’ll find another recipe in this post that you—or your husband!—want to try!
  Take care and thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!
