Frequently asked questions about gluten-free stuffing
Can I use turkey drippings instead of chicken broth?
Absolutely. The turkey drippings will have a stronger flavor but they’re still going to make an incredible moist stuffing.
Can I add meat to this gluten-free stuffing?
Sure, you can add sausage or turkey giblets to this recipe. Add about half a pound of your browned meat to the mix and toss in it to the stuffing mix before baking.
I can’t have any eggs, do you have egg-free gluten-free bread?
We’ve heard good things about Katz and Schar both make a great gluten-free, and egg-free bread.
I don’t have time to make my own gluten-free bread mix, can I use store bought?
Here’s a couple of gluten-free stuffing mixes you can use if you’re running low on prep time. Trader Joe’s makes a great one, we also like William Sanoma, and Three Bakers too.
What are some good additions to gluten-free stuffing?
We love to add some mushrooms, cranberries, or apples to our stuffing. You can really experiment with choices and get something that works best for your family. ‘
Can I make gluten-free stuffing ahead of time?
Sure, just make it like normal and bake it later. Cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to bake, remove it from the fridge and bake like normal.
Can I freeze my leftovers?
Yep, just store in a freezer bag that’s airtight and throw it in. It keeps for several months. When you’re ready to make it, defrost it in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven at 350 fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or a few minutes in the microwave.
