Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz. bag gluten free croutons (alternately cut up a loaf or two of gluten free bread, toss with olive oil & salt/pepper and oven roast at 400 for 15 minutes, stirring once)
  • 1/2 stick butter (non-dairy works just fine)
  • 1 c. chopped celery
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 c. chicken stock (one can of prepared broth if you aren't using fresh broth)
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • salt & pepper to taste

Optional

  • 1 lb. gluten free Italian Sausage

Note

I usually make my stuffing the night before Thanksgiving, and I refrigerate it overnight. As soon as I get up Thanksgiving morning, I pull it out and allow it to come to room temperature before stuffing the turkey, otherwise it'll increase your turkey cooking time.

Directions

1. Put gluten free croutons into a large bowl; set aside.
2. In a large pan, melt butter; sauté celery & onions until onion is translucent. Add to bowl with gluten free croutons.
3. Using your pan again, brown the Italian sausage, if using. Once cooked through, add to the bowl with stuffing ingredients (you can drain it if you want to, but I usually don't).
4. Warm the chicken stock and pour over everything in the bowl, stirring thoroughly. Season to taste as desired.
5. Stuff your turkey bird and cook according to your turkey's package directions for a stuffed bird. Alternately, put into a bowl and bake for about 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees if you don't like your bird stuffed.
