Gluten Free Stuffing

You know those recipes you make ahead of a gathering but struggle to stay out of because it’s just so good? This stuffing recipe is one of them!

When I was diagnosed with celiac disease almost 11 years ago, my mom started using gluten free Schär bread to make our stuffing so I never had to miss out on my holiday favorite. This delicious, comforting and flavorful stuffing recipe was one that my mom used to make with my Great Grandma. Over the years, it’s been adapted to meet multiple dietary needs, but it remains a crowd favorite. Seriously, we are always in charge of the stuffing on holidays because everyone says it’s the best they’ve ever had and they never believe that it’s gluten free!

What you’ll need:

• Bread
• Butter (can sub Ghee or Butter Alternative)
• Broth (Chicken, Turkey or Vegetable)
• Salt
• Poultry Seasoning
• White Onion (can use Sweet Onion)
• Celery

You can easily make it to be vegetarian and lactose free as well, so you can share it with more people at your table.

Modifications to make this recipe work for:

• Lactose Free – use ghee and Schär bread
• Vegetarian – use veggie broth
• Vegan – use veggie broth, compliant butter substitute and compliant bread
• Dairy Free – use compliant butter substitute and compliant bread

Tips & Tricks

• The best way to get your stuffing the desired texture is to slowly incorporate the broth mixture into the bread, doing so just a little at a time. Using your hands or a spatula, gently toss the bread (to be sure not to break it up too much) and the broth mixture together.
  • If you like your stuffing on the drier side, do this step until the bread is just slightly wet.
  • If you like your stuffing on the wetter side, do this step until the bread is considered to be wet. If you like your stuffing super wet, you can add additional broth, again, a little at a time.
    • Be careful not to add too much broth, though, as you don’t want the bread to turn to mush.
• Be sure to cook your onion and celery until as translucent as possible to keep it from being crunchy in the stuffing. However, if you want it crunchy, you do you!
• Truly, my mom has been using Schär bread for this recipe since the very beginning of my gluten free journey. I have never had better stuffing than with this bread. I highly recommend it!
• Speaking of the bread, the crunchier you get the bread before adding the broth mixture, the better.
• Once you add all of your ingredients together, right before you bake it, taste a piece of the bread to ensure the seasoning is to your liking. Feel free to add more salt or poultry seasoning if that meets your preferences!
• The recipe here serves somewhere between 6-8, give or take. It’s hard to say how much stuffing people will want, so feel free to grab another pan and double the recipe depending on how many you’re serving!

A Note on Calorie Count, Nutritional Info and Serving Sizes

Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.

If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.

I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!
