Thanksgiving Menu Planner: Host a Gluten-Free Feast

Dense, sweet dates are delicious paired with salty Parmigiano-Reggiano and earthy, crunchy walnuts. You can assemble this easy appetizer up to 8 hours in advance and heat just before serving.

This turkey gets a double dose of flavor: first it’s soaked in a seasoned saltwater brine, then the bird is brushed with an herb butter as it roasts.

Sawmill gravy is a Southern favorite that incorporates cornmeal, creating a grainy texture that resembles sawdust. The addition of strong coffee and piquant hot sauce is traditional — and since it’s made without flour, it’s completely gluten free.

Celebrate the harvest with brightly colored crisp-tender green beans, a fresh alternative to the traditional casserole. You can blanch and dress the beans in advance, then top with the hazelnuts and basil just before serving—handy when you’re hosting a celebratory dinner.

Those who avoid eating gluten don’t need to be deprived of the quintessential Thanksgiving side when they use our gluten-free stuffing mix. The addition of hearty kale and fragrant bacon means that everyone will be fighting over the last serving.

Using our gluten-free piecrust mix allows you to make a beautiful pumpkin pie that everyone can savor. To add a fanciful finish to this pie, as shown here, use decorative cutters or a paring knife to create autumnal shapes from rolled-out gluten-free pie dough. Then bake the cutouts and place them on the baked and cooled pie.
