The holidays are centered on family, celebration, and, most importantly, food. After a day full of activities and catching up, it’s time to sit down and enjoy a meal that has been in the works all day. However, this can be difficult if you have an allergy that prevents you from eating everything on the table.
Don’t worry—below is a list of the best gluten-free substitutes for popular Thanksgiving dishes. These simple swaps allow all your family members and friends to enjoy everything on the table without worrying about getting sick. Additionally, be sure to inspect the label of every seasoning you use, even on dishes such as vegetables and turkey.
This stuffing is a great replacement for traditional stuffing made from chopped bread. The box contains the stuffing, and all you have to add is any vegetables you may want, and some chicken broth. The recipe is conveniently located on the box. If made correctly, it tastes just like regular stuffing.
It’s not a holiday dinner without bread toasted to perfection to accompany the main dish. While your family might usually reach for Pillsbury or Hawaiian rolls, try this instead to give your gluten-free guests a taste of bread. These rolls are soft, chewy, and perfect for Thanksgiving dinner.
Gravy is an item many people overlook when considering gluten-free options because the gluten or wheat content is subtle. Make this easy switch to include everyone in the savory goodness. Just add water to this mix and heat it to create the perfect consistency for Thanksgiving gravy.
Finally, the most important part of Thanksgiving—dessert! This swap may be a little more challenging because it involves baking, but there are several gluten-free options. King Arthur’s Traditional Pie Crust Mix comes together like a cake mix, a graham cracker crust pairs nicely with chocolate pie or cheesecake filling, and Sweet Loren’s Puff Pastry Dough is perfect for mini pies. Whichever option you choose, these alternatives deliver delicious and safe results for your gluten-free friends.
