Re: Gluten free stuffing (cornbread or others)?

[Guest guest]

Last year I used Whole Foods GF corn bread and made the stuffing the same way I always did with croutons. It did turn to crumbs in the turkey. This year, I'm going to cut it while frozen, then toast it in the over on dry it out for a couple of days to see if that will make a difference. The flavor was really good, regardless.The year before, I used the GF bread stuffing that Whole Foods has this time of year. Also turned to mush, though. My family was happy with both, though.

I've seen a few posts where people mention cornbread stuffing. I always grew up using Peppridge Farms bread crumbs for stuffing, so since going GF about 6 years ago I haven't had stuffing. Does anyone have a great stuffing recipe? I'd like something that doesn't disintegrate in the turkey (can you even stuff the turkey with it or do you have to cook it in a separate dish?) and that is actually worthwhile making. My family has been eating the stuffing baked in a side dish but I am sure they'd love a stuffing cooked in the bird that tastes delicious.

Also, if you have a recipe that calls for a specific recipe for the bread you use I'd appreciate the recipe for the bread.

I make the cornbread recipe from Pamelas mix and cut it length wise three times open it up and season it with sage, garlic powder, let it cool and cut it into squares dry it out in the oven tossing it occasionally to make sure it really dries out then just make the dressing according to any recipe you have. It is a big hit and now it is the only dressing my friends request and they are not celiac. Stores well so you can make it ahead of time. Enjoy if you decide to make it.

Last year was my first year preparing gluten free stuffing.  I grew up on Pepperidge Farm, too.  I used a recipe from glutenfreegirl.com, including the bread recipe that she recommended.  It was delicious, and I plan to make it again this year (although with different bread, because I now have one egg-free child).  I cooked it outside the turkey because that is what is generally recommended now to be sure that everything cooks to a high enough temperature.  And for the record, my husband - who is not gluten free - prefers this recipe to any other we made before I went gluten free.

I did make the bread a few days in advance.  I cut it into 1/2 inch cubes and dried it in the oven at 250 degrees.  I can't remember how long in the oven.  At least 30 minutes, then I checked every few minutes to see that it was fully dry and beginning to brown.

Good luck!
