Nowadays, many people follow a gluten free diet due to different health conditions. Preparing a gluten free Thanksgiving dinner would make Thanksgiving that much more enjoyable for those guests who follow a gluten free diet. Actually, you may already prepare some dishes which are gluten free and not even realize it!

There are so many great food blogs to help with recipe ideas in order to create a healthy, terrific, tasty meal. Below is a roundup of some gluten free, real food recipes to help give you some ideas as you get ready to shop for your Thanksgiving meal. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes

Rosemary Maple Glazed Turkey Breast

What’s a Thanksgiving meal without a turkey?!  If your turkey needs a little more flavor, try this turkey glaze recipe from $5 Dinners. Made with flavorful real foods, it’s sure to kick your turkey up a notch!

Gluten Free Stuffing

Wild Rice Stuffing

Have you ever tried using wild rice instead of bread for stuffing? This recipe sounds great as a gluten free stuffing alternative to those traditional bread stuffings. The Wild Rice Stuffing can be found at Super Healthy Kids.

If you like a more traditional stuffing, you might want to try this gluten free Traditional Stuffing from Allergy Free Alaska.

Gluten Free Gravy

To go with your turkey and stuffing, try this gluten free gravy from Gluten-Free-Girl.  It looks easy too!

Gluten Free Side Dishes

Roasted Apple-Butternut Squash with Maple Cardamom Glaze

Roasted Acorn Squash with Dates, Pumpkin Seeds, and Goat Cheese

This looked interesting and like something I typically wouldn’t eat. However, I’ve been eating more squash this year, so this sounds like a compelling dish. Check it out at Deliciously Organic

 

Gluten Free Potatoes

Garlic and Herb Mashed Cauliflower

This recipe goes even further than being just gluten free. If you follow an Autoimmune Paleo diet, white potatoes are out. Cauliflower is a great, healthy option to use instead. This mashed cauliflower recipe from Primal Palate is a great substitute for white potatoes!

Sweet Potatoes

There are many recipes for sweet potatoes; however, many have marshmallow toppings.  Since marshmallows are not the healthiest of “processed” foods, I would opt for baking the sweet potatoes and topping them with coconut oil and cinnamon as this Healthy Holiday Ingredient Swap suggests.

 

Gluten Free Fruit and Vegetables

Candied Brussel Sprouts

This is a dish that you can get even the pickiest of eaters to try while disguising something healthy in it. Try these candied brussel sprouts from Shelby at Fit as a Mama Bear and see how quickly they are devoured.

Healthy Green Bean Casserole

Green bean casserole is a traditional Thanksgiving dish, but the typical green bean casserole is usually filled with fried onions and processed cans of creamed soups. Try the Wellness Mama’s healthy version of green bean casserole instead.

In addition to this recipe, here are 24 more recipe options for gluten free green bean casserole!

Homemade Applesauce

Melissa at My Whole Food Life has a yummy applesauce recipe that’s made in the crock pot.  Imagine the smell of it cooking all day long!

 

Gluten & Dairy Free Dinner Rolls

Megan at Allergy Free Alaska always has great gluten free recipes. This recipe is for some gluten free dinner rolls, and as she mentions, you can make different varieties, whatever you’re guests would like.

 

Gluten Free Thanksgiving Desserts

Pumpkin Cheesecake

I love cheesecake! And who doesn’t like more pumpkin at Thanksgiving?! This dessert uses a pecan crust which is great for those of us who eat gluten free. Try this Pumpkin Cheesecake from Lisa at 100 Days of  Real Food.

Crustless Gluten Free Cranberry Pie
