If you’re craving some good gluten-free grub, look no further than my list of 16+ easy gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes.

(1) Sweet Potato Casserole
My gluten-free sweet potato casserole is filled with creamy roasted sweet potatoes, infused with maple syrup, and topped with a crunchy pecan and brown sugar crumb streusel.

(2) Gluten-Free Savory Stuffing
I love homemade gluten-free stuffing made with savory sauteed vegetables, fresh sage, and rosemary herbs and covered with chicken broth. Use your favorite toasted gluten-free bread (I recommend Canyon Bakehouse, gluten-free cornbread, or sourdough bread from Bread Srsly), and then top it all with delicious gluten-free gravy.

(3) Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls
Make these doughy pull-apart dinner rolls for your Thanksgiving guests, and they’ll say “thank you” all night long. If possible, bake the rolls right before dinner so they’re at their peak of freshness. As you know, gluten-free bread doesn’t stay fresh for long.

(11) Gluten-Free Turkey Pot Pie
Use up turkey leftovers with my gluten-free chicken pot pie recipe. I usually use rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but you could easily swap it with leftover turkey to create a second meal that tastes just as good – if not better – than the first. Check out those beautiful chunks of butternut squash inside!

(14) Crispy Brussels Sprouts Hummus Dip
If you love crispy Brussels Sprouts, you’ll love this appetizer. It’s crispy Brussels sprouts served on creamy hummus and topped with pumpkin seeds and pomegranate seeds. While it’s a delicious appetizer, you could ditch the hummus, air-fry the Brussels sprouts, and serve them as a beautiful Thanksgiving side dish.

(15) Gluten-Free Popovers
Instead of gluten-free dinner rolls, try making gluten-free popovers. You’ll need a popover pan to make them, but it’s worth the investment. These delicious popovers are buttery, flaky, and oh-so-doughy too.
Get my 5-Ingredient Gluten-Free Popovers recipe.
(16) Mediterranean Rice
I know Mediterranean Rice doesn’t sound like it would go with Thanksgiving, but if you’re looking for a gluten-free stuffing alternative, rice is nice. This rice recipe reminds me of stuffing because it contains spices and chunky fresh vegetables.
