Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Menu

Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Menu

Sharing a full Thanksgiving menu that’s entirely gluten-free! Check out the details below. 

Hi friends! How’s the week going? I hope you’re having a great one so far. I’m here cranking through work, really, really looking forward to Thanksgiving next month – my favorite holiday!

Thanksgiving is almost always celebrated with an elaborate spread of food, desserts, and drinks, but many traditional Thanksgiving dishes, such as gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. may contain gluten. If members of your family (or you!) are gluten-free or have gluten intolerances, planning a gluten-free Thanksgiving meal can seem daunting. Worry not! There are plenty of gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes you can prepare, and yes, they are just as good as traditional Thanksgiving foods! Today, I’m sharing a gluten-free Thanksgiving menu (including gluten-free Thanksgiving side dishes and my favorite Thanksgiving dessert) to help you prepare a spread everyone can enjoy!

*Note: If any family members are Celiac, please be extra mindful of cross-contamination. 

Here is a round-up of delicious recipes you can enjoy as part of your Thanksgiving dinner. All of these are gluten-free, and many of them are vegan, too!

Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Menu

The Best Thanksgiving Turkey In All The Land

Thanksgiving Turkey

The turkey is the star of the show, and while cooking a whole turkey, a.k.a. the star of the Thanksgiving table, can seem daunting, it’s actually super easy with this foolproof brine recipe that makes the turkey super moist and delicious!!

The Easiest Turkey Gravy

This recipe is not designed to be gluten-free, but swap out the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour and voila! I love Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking blend.

Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole

Forget the marshmallows (don’t throw anything at me)! I prefer a crumble-esque topping! This gluten-free Thanksgiving side dish uses oats. Just make sure you use certified gluten-free oats.

Pulled BBQ Chicken Deviled Eggs

Pulled BBQ Chicken Deviled Eggs

I don’t know what it is about deviled eggs, but they disappear so quickly at every holiday gathering. They’re the perfect quick bite, and these naturally gluten-free bbq ones have a fun southern twist. You can easily keep them dairy-free too, if you want or need to. Check out the recipe here!

Make-Ahead Vegan Green Bean Casserole

Vegan Green Bean Casserole

This gluten-free green bean casserole is SO much better using fresh ingredients instead of canned soups, and I love that you can make it a day or two ahead and pop it in the oven before the feast. Just make sure to use gluten-free flour and make sure the gluten-free crispy onions. They have them at Sprout’s and Whole Foods.

Green Beans With Almonds, Goat Cheese and Cranberries

Green beans with almonds, goat cheese and cranberries

This is a great recipe if you want to switch things up and step away from traditional green bean casserole. It’s vibrant and fresh, with a tiny bit of sweetness from the cranberries.

Honey-Dijon Roasted Root Vegetables

I love using the different colored carrots for this one. It’s a little tangy, a little sweet, and a lovely way to add more veggies to your Thanksgiving spread. The recipe is here.

Gluten-Free Stuffing

This gluten-free stuffing is simple, flavorful, customizable, and doesn’t use a million ingredients.  I like to change up the stuffing a bit each year; sometimes I’ll add sausage and other times I use cranberries or try a different type of bread. I’ve made gluten-free stuffing for quite a few years and it always tastes amazing. No one can tell  it’s gluten-free!

Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie

Bourbon chocolate pecan pie | Gluten-free Thanksgiving Menu

Omgggg you guys. This pie is incredible. It’s impressive, tastes ridiculous, and the only swaps you need to make are to use a pre-made gluten-free pie crust, and gluten-free flour blend. Trust me, everyone will be asking you for the recipe!

If you’re more of a cake person, check out this pumpkin dump cake recipe.

Silky Sweet Potato Pie

This pie has a gluten-free crust and is lower in sugar than many of the pie recipes out there. I haven’t tried this one, 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/dessert? Please shout out any tried and true favorites in the comments section!

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry Move over Everest, there’s a new headline-grabber in town and it’s barely taller than you are. Mount Paltry has exploded on social media as the world’s smallest mountain , a tiny bump in Australia that has become internet-famous precisely because it looks… well, not very mountain-like at all. In a world obsessed with extreme hikes and record-breaking peaks, this modest mound has captured global attention by doing the exact opposite: being proudly underwhelming. Where on Earth Is Mount Paltry? Mount Paltry is described in viral posts as a miniature mountain in Australia, rising only a few metres above the surrounding land. It’s usually shown as a small, rounded rise in an otherwise flat landscape the kind of bump you might expect to call a hill, or even “just a bit of ground,” rather than a mountain. That’s exactly why people love it: the contrast between the dramatic title “world’s smallest mountain” and the very ordinar...

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles Did you know that over 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or larger? Yet, despite the demand, the fashion industry has been slow to provide elegant, well-fitting, and on-trend plus- size wedding guest dresses. Many women face limited choices, ill-fitting designs, and outdated silhouettes that fail to highlight their curves. Shopping for the perfect dress can feel like navigating a minefield either the options lack style, the fit is off, or the available dresses don’t align with the formality of the event. For years, plus-size women have been told to “hide” their curves instead of celebrating them. Traditional formalwear often lacks the structure, comfort, or aesthetic appeal needed to make plus-size wedding guests feel just as glamorous as their straight-size counterparts. The frustration of sifting through uninspiring racks, struggling with restrictive fabrics, or settling for ill- proportioned designs is all too fami...
