Preparing homemade stuffing might take longer than using a prepackaged mix from the store, but the end result is much healthier and worth the effort. The flavors you’ll experience are incomparable to anything you can buy off the shelf. But don’t just take my word for it – let me show you how to make a delicious turkey dressing for your holiday table.

Why I love this recipe for gluten free stuffing

  • Tons of flavor: There aren’t a lot of ingredients in this stuffing, but the herbs, spices, and aromatics are present in just the right amounts for maximum flavor.
  • Super moist: Drying out the bread in the oven first then adding just enough chicken stock and beaten eggs, along with onions, celery, and spices makes for a super moist stuffing
  • Can prep bread ahead of time: Making the gluten free bread for the stuffing is the most time-consuming part, and it can be done days, if not weeks, ahead of time.
  • Even good as leftovers: This stuffing is one of the only dishes made with bread or breadcrumbs that I actually almost prefer as leftovers, even straight from the refrigerator!

Ingredients for this gluten-free stuffing recipe

My gluten free Thanksgiving stuffing recipe is a healthy alternative to store-bought dressings, often containing preservatives, artificial flavorants, corn syrup, soy proteins, and more. 

  • Gluten free bread: You’ll need a full 1 pound loaf of gluten free bread for this recipe. My classic white gluten free bread recipe works great, and I also like to use my recipe for gluten free Japanese milk bread here. You can also use store-bought gluten free bread; just cut it into cubes as large as you can. Dry-toasting this moist, enriched bread prepares it to absorb the flavors of the cooked vegetables and stock without turning mushy.
  • Olive oil and butter: A combination of these two fats adds richness, flavor, and helps to deliver the flavors of the aromatics.
  • Onions & celery: These are your aromatics, cooked down without browning so they retain lots of their unique flavor and aroma. I like a combination of white onions and shallots.
  • Salt & pepper: Enhance, brighten and balance the flavors in the dish.
  • Vegetable bouillon: A simple mix of nutritional yeast flakes, minced dried onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, and dried thyme adds so much flavor. If you don’t have nutritional yeast, you can try replacing it with a bit of finely grated Parmesan cheese. You can also replace the homemade vegetable bouillon with 2 tablespoons or 2 cubes of packaged gluten free chicken or vegetable bouillon. Herb Ox and Edward & Son’s Not Chick’N brands are gluten free.
  • Poultry seasoning or herbs de Provence: Spice blends that add that poultry flavor to your stuffing.
  • Chicken stock: Moistens the bread and adds more flavor. You can use vegetable stock if you prefer.
  • Eggs: Bind the dish together and also add some fat for richness.

Choosing the best gluten free bread for stuffing

The most essential ingredient in this gluten free stuffing mix is the gluten free bread. If you get the bread wrong, you may as well toss it away and start again. Gluten free bread will hold onto tons of flavor and will never leave your stuffing soggy. When prepared and toasted just right, it will make a stuffing that’s slightly crisp on some edges, but otherwise tender and soft; it’s never mushy or hard. 

In the hunt for the perfect gluten free dressing for Thanksgiving, I’ve used every type of gluten free bread possible – from the squishiest to the most crusty. I’ve made it with lean breads and enriched breads. Cornbread, too.

After testing and comparing, my favorite gluten free bread for Thanksgiving stuffing is my gluten free Japanese milk bread. It’s slightly enriched with an egg, some butter, a water roux for moisture retention, and milk, so it’s soft and tender. 

This milk bread is soft enough that, when I bake it in a low, 300°F oven for about 40 minutes, it dries out and toasts lightly—but doesn’t harden. Since our basic white gluten free bread is also enriched with eggs, milk, and butter, it performs similarly and you shouldn’t hesitate to use it here.

How to make gluten free stuffing mix, step by step

This recipe is a game-changer for anyone seeking the ultimate gluten free Thanksgiving stuffing. It’s so flavorful and satisfying that it stands out as a star dish on its own, full of flavor and different textures.

The full recipe card is below, but before you get started, I have a few important notes to share to ensure your stuffing comes out just right. Choosing a suitable gluten free bread for this recipe is vital, and the method you use to toast it and mix it with the other ingredients is also crucial for getting a good-textured stuffing.

Toast bread & cook aromatics.

Prepare the bread on the day by cutting it into cubes or tearing it into rough pieces and toasting it dry. Cook down onions, celery, herbs and seasoning in butter and olive oil until tender.

Combine all ingredients & transfer to baking dish.

Add two eggs and lots of flavorful stock to the aromatics and toasted bread to complete the dish. Transfer to a buttered casserole dish and spread evenly.

Bake at 350°F.

Bake the completed dish at 350°F. Cover the dish first, so the eggs can set and the bread absorbs the liquids. Then finish baking uncovered to perfection, so everything gets toasty and delicious. Serve warm!

Perfecting your gluten free stuffing for the holidays

Honestly, it’s difficult to get this recipe wrong as long as you follow the instructions step by-step. You can play with flavor a little, adjusting the seasoning and the veggies you add, and not have to worry about it not turning out beautifully.

It’s simple and versatile, but there are still a few tips to help make sure your stuffing is flawless:

1. Select the gluten free right bread

We’ve already talked about what type of gluten free bread we want to use to make gluten free turkey stuffing, but it still bears repeating! Choose your bread wisely, and your stuffing can be the most flavorful side on your holiday table.

You want an enriched bread, made with some added fats and tenderizers. Your bread must also be one you can tear into rough pieces, but solid enough to hold up to all the moisture we add without becoming soggy.

2. Toast the bread low and slow

We’re using a loaf of bread that’s very soft inside with a thick, bakery-style crust outside. When we tear it into pieces, we expose that tender center, which we then dry out in the oven.

Toast the bread and dehydrate it in a low, 300°F oven—don’t bake it. It takes some time, but this is how we create just the right textured bread to absorb all the flavors we will add.

3. Check your bouillon and stock carefully

If you’d rather not make your own bouillon as the recipe states, you can use packaged gluten free bouillon. But you have to be careful when buying bouillon and stock as many brands contain gluten. Unless the packaging specifically says that it’s gluten free, I would avoid it.

I’ve got a Homemade Vegetable Bouillon Powder here that you can make in advance and store for when you need it. I recommend making at least 3 times the amount specified, since I add it to all sorts of chicken and rice dishes.

I also strongly recommend choosing a high-quality stock that’s rich and has good depth of flavor. Watery stock that doesn’t have much flavor will lead to a much less flavorful dish. I really like Pacific chicken stock, but of course homemade chicken stock would be the absolute best! 

4. Don’t skimp on the aromatics, herbs, and spices

Cook down chopped yellow onions and shallots, and a bunch of chopped celery with lots of herbs and spices. I like to use powdered vegetable bouillon, poultry seasoning (a blend of woodsy, earthy spices like sage, marjoram, and rosemary) or Herbs de provence (dried thyme, marjoram, savory, rosemary, lavender, & sage), and lots of good, dark chicken or vegetable stock.

I also really love this recipe with fresh or fresh-frozen herbs like sage and rosemary. You just can’t beat the flavor of fresh herbs in this kind of dish, but remember that you’ll need twice as much fresh as dried herbs.

5. Don’t beat up your bread

When you mix the wet ingredients into the toasted bread chunks, don’t be too forceful. Take it gently and steadily so you don’t beat up the bread and cause it to break down too much.

6. Collect leftover pieces of the right gf bread all year

My children were never the type to refuse to eat the crusts, but sometimes there’s an odd piece of Japanese milk bread or another appropriate gf bread that doesn’t get eaten. l save and freeze all of those ends and slices of gluten free bread in a freezer-safe ziptop bag. Then, whenever I need gluten free breadcrumbs or stale bread for stuffing, I’ve got it ready to go.

How to store this gluten free stuffing

Leftover gluten free stuffing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge to enjoy in the coming days. Zip-top bags work well here to stop the bread from losing its moisture. When ready, reheat the bread on low power in the microwave or oven. 

If it’s been more than a couple of days and if it’s lost some moisture, try adding some gluten free gravy if you have any left from the big day.

You can also store extra stuffing in the freezer for up to three months. Again, make sure it’s in an airtight container. Transfer it to the fridge to defrost the day before you want to eat it. I recommend sprinkling it with water and baking it from here to help bring back its texture.

Creative twists on traditional gluten free stuffing

As long as you have the right type of gluten free bread and the correct proportions of eggs and stock, you can vary the flavors quite a bit. Whether you like sweet, meaty, or spicy, you can tweak this simple recipe to make your own family favorite.

Here are some suggested variations for my gluten-free stuffing:

Gluten free stuffing with cranberry and apple

When cooking the onions and celery, add two peeled, cored, and diced apples, and one cup of dried cranberries to the aromatics when you add the stock.

Gluten free sausage stuffing

Cook 1 1/2 cups of crumbled bulk sausage until it is no longer pink. Remove the cooked sausage and set it aside, leaving behind the grease.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and cook the aromatics, replacing the sliced onions with 1 cup of cleaned and sliced leeks.

Tex-Mex cornbread gluten free dressing

Replace the Japanese Milk Bread cubes with cubed Gluten Free Skillet Cornbread. Add 1 diced jalapeño pepper, ribs and seeds removed, and 1 seeded red bell pepper to the aromatics. After you add the stock, add 1 cup of frozen corn kernels.

Easy gluten free stuffing: ingredient substitutions

You can switch up this simple recipe to accommodate pretty much any dietary need. Just remember you may also need to tweak the bread recipe or choose a different bread, depending on the substitutions you want to make.

Gluten free, dairy free stuffing

To replace the dairy in this recipe, you’ll need to make a substitution for the butter, and leave out the cheese, which is optional anyway. In place of the butter in this recipe and in the bread recipe, try using vegan butter (Melt and Miyoko’s Kitchen brands are best). For milk in the bread, use your favorite unsweetened nondairy milk, but make sure it’s not nonfat.

Gluten free, egg free stuffing

There are only two eggs in this recipe, but they do a lot of work helping to hold the stuffing together. Without eggs, the ingredients easily separate from one another.

You can try using one “chia egg” instead of each egg in the recipe. I make a “chia egg” by combining one tablespoon ground white chia seeds with one tablespoon lukewarm water, and allowing it to sit until it gels.

Gluten free Stuffing FAQs

Is stuffing gluten free?

Most classic stuffing, the mixes you buy in bags or boxes at the store, are not gluten free. That’s because they contain bread cubes that are made with wheat flour.
Even those labeled “cornbread stuffing” contain gluten unless otherwise labeled — cornbread is more of a flavor name than an ingredient.

What’s the difference between gluten free stuffing and dressing?

While there’s technically a difference between the two, whether you use the word stuffing or dressing to describe the mixture of bread cubes, vegetables, and stock accompanying many turkeys on Thanksgiving is more likely to come down to where you live.

In the South, most people call this concoction with the savory flavor “dressing.” Up north, it tends to go by “stuffing.” In many regions, you can use either word, and people will know exactly what you mean. However, for purists, stuffing is the mixture that’s cooked inside the turkey, while dressing is cooked to go beside it.

Does gluten free stuffing still taste good?

Of course! This gluten free Thanksgiving stuffing recipe produces stuffing that’s more tender and flavorful than anything you’ll buy on a shelf. From my choice of bread to the herbs and spices, these ingredients combine to create a dish that will easily outshine the others at your Thanksgiving table.

Does Pepperidge Farms have gluten free stuffing?

No, Pepperidge Farms does not have gluten free stuffing. Even its cornbread variety contains gluten, and at this time, the brand doesn’t make any gluten free options.

Is Stove Top stuffing gluten free?

Despite being a staple around the holidays, traditional Stove Top stuffing is not gluten free — nor does the brand offer a gluten free stuffing among its many flavors.
Thankfully, you can make gluten free stuffing that tastes better than anything from a bag when you follow my easy recipe.

Can I use store-bought gluten free bread to make this stuffing?

Yes! You can use your favorite packaged gluten free bread to make this stuffing. Just cut the slices into the largest pieces you can, and be sure to toast it until the bread is dry so it doesn’t fall apart during baking.

Can I use old or stale gluten free bread in this stuffing recipe?

If you routinely bake your own gluten free bread, definitely hold on to those ends and stale slices. Store them in the freezer until you have enough for a batch of gluten free turkey dressing, and your efforts will never go to waste.

Can I use turkey drippings in this gf stuffing recipe rather than stock?

Yes, you can use turkey drippings in place of some or all of the chicken broth or stock. The drippings will result in an even deeper, more intense flavor — just be sure to mix the drippings with water to thin them out to the right consistency.

Can a vegan or vegetarian eat this gluten free stuffing?

If you replace all the dairy and the eggs, and you use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock—you have a recipe for gluten free vegan stuffing for your holiday table.

Can I cook this gf stuffing inside a turkey?

Food safety is of paramount importance whenever you’re working with raw meat. According to the Cleveland Clinic’s website, it’s safe to eat dressing cooked inside a raw bird if you take certain precautions. Don’t add the stuffing ingredients until right before cooking. And make sure to test the dressing itself with an instant read thermometer and cook it until it reaches at least 165°F.

Can I make this stuffing ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the recipe through to baking it for the first 30 minutes, covered with foil. Remove the stuffing from the oven, leave the foil on, and allow it to cool to room temperature.
After it’s come to cool room temperature (it will take some time), remove the foil. Cover your make ahead gluten free stuffing with freezer-safe wrap (Glad Press n Seal works particularly well) and freeze. The day before you intend to serve the dish, defrost it in the refrigerator overnight. Remove it from the refrigerator and finish baking it, uncovered, according to the remaining recipe instructions.

What are your gluten free stuffing mix recommendations?

I get it: When you’re hustling and bustling to get food on the Thanksgiving dinner table, you may not want to think about adding gluten free stuffing from scratch to your list. Here are some prepackaged gluten free options that are worth trying for your next holiday meal if you’re really pressed for time:
– Aleia’s Savory Stuffing Mix
– Gillian’s Gluten Free Homestyle Stuffing Mix
– Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Stuffing Mix

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F. Grease well a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Toast the bread.

  • Tear or slice the gluten free bread into roughly 1-inch pieces. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet.

  • Place the baking sheet in the center of the 300°F oven, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until dried out and lightly browned.

  • Continue to bake until the bread begins to shrink in size slightly and feels dry to the touch. It may take longer than 40 minutes depending on how moist the bread was at the start.

  • Stir at least once halfway through baking, to ensure even baking. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Cook the aromatics.

  • In a medium-size, heavy-bottom saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

  • Add the onion, celery, salt, pepper, vegetable bouillon, and poultry seasoning or herbs de Provence, and stir to combine.

  • Whisk together the eggs and stock until smooth. Add the egg mixture to the large mixing bowl, and toss carefully to coat.

  • Add the optional shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano, and mix gently until just combined.

  • Transfer the mixture carefully to the prepared 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Press it gently into an even layer.

  • Scatter the final (optional) 2 tablespoons of cubed butter evenly across the top of the stuffing. Cover the baking dish securely with aluminum foil.

  • Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue to bake until the eggs are set and the stuffing is golden brown all over (about another 30 minutes).

  • When it’s done, the stuffing will feel relatively firm when pressed gently with a finger in a thick portion. The top edges will be crisped but not dark. Serve warm.
