Turkey Stuffings/Just in case

[Guest guest]

Hello, Happy Thanksgiving. We have done the diet for 7 years.. here are some of

my tricks for Thanksgiving:

I have two stuffing recipes that I like, my Chinese Sticky rice stuffing my

family's favorite.

Soak 3 (I make this and cook steam it separately so I can do both stuff if I

want and have an extra dish) cups of Sweet Rice

3 to 4 hours. They recommend this but even in a hurry, I just cook

it. I cook it however in an electric rice cooker.

I am Asian so it is what we like to use.

Sauté onions, (one chopped), 2-3 minced garlic's, until lightly brown. I add

our favorite gf/df sausage, add thinly sliced leeks (2to3)

until nicely limp and you can simply add a bit of water to

keep things moist. I usually sauté in a bit of olive oil.

Add cooked rice and then simply toss with a bit of salt and Gf/df soy sauce.

You can add other things if you desire. I take enough to stuff the bird, and

with the rest of the rice: for other family members in a seperate container

Oyster beef sauce, Shitake mushrooms thinly sliced, a bit of shrimp, and place

in a clay pot and then slow cook in my oven for about 2 hours at a very low

temp.. 250. ( I have double ovens for me this is easy, but

you can make it ahead and cook it before the turkey or the night before.

Noodle dressing:

I use the cooked rice noodles.. and again, I prefer a homemade rice noodle, but

these can be purchased in your Chinese section, however read carefully since

some contain corn and wheat. I live in Seattle, and buy only rice, water, and

nothing else. You can then do the above recipe with noodles if you prefer.

My other noodle dressing:

Sauté an onion, use gf/df sausage or bacon, add garlic, use the rice noodle

(western style... I believe we have Deboles)

then add cooked noodle, flavor with sea salt, and yes... regular turkey poultry

seasoning, to taste.

As far as desert goes I simply bake a pumpkin soufflé and do vanilla soy ice

cream. Also when meals or feasts are done in schools, I volunteer, and make

sure, EVERYTHING is gf/df, and I watch over and stand guard... it works... my

son still looks at all foods.. but knows he will feel bad.. however it can be

very tempting. Good luck to everyone, if you have questions, email me

privately. I experiment a lot before Thanksgiving with all family members and

usually cook everything to control what is in the food.

Works like a charm. No cross contamination.
