This gluten-free stuffing recipe with sausage is a classic, simple holiday side dish – the perfect Thanksgiving stuffing!
Gluten-Free Stuffing Recipe Notes
- You can use any gluten-free bread you desire (or even regular bread, if no one at your Thanksgiving dinner needs to avoid gluten). I love a good gluten-free whole grain bread for a little extra flavor, fiber, and often a little extra texture from seeds.
- You can totally make this vegetarian – just use vegetable broth and omit the sausage, or use a vegetarian sausage alternative.
- You can use any type of sausage you prefer – pork, turkey, chicken, etc. Even flavored sausages can work, just know any flavors in the sausage will be noticeable in the gluten-free stuffing!
- To make in advance, I would toast the bread cubes and prepare the sausage vegetable mixture and store both separately. Prior to baking I would toss together the sausage vegetable mixture, bread cubes, and broth, then pop it in the oven.

Gluten-Free Stuffing Recipe with Sausage
This gluten-free stuffing recipe with sausage is a classic, simple holiday side dish - the perfect Thanksgiving stuffing!
free from: gluten/ wheat, dairy, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts
Ingredients
- 12 slices gluten-free bread sliced into small cubes
- 1 pound sausage
- 1 medium yellow or white onion chopped
- 4 stalks celery chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (divided)
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground dried sage
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
Instructions
-
Toast bread cubes on baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until firm and crisp (length of toasting time will depend on how fresh your bread is - I used a very fresh loaf and needed 15 minutes).
-
Brown sausage in a large rimmed skillet. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
-
Deglaze pan with 1/4 cup broth. Saute onion, celery, and garlic until tender and translucent. Add spices. Add browned sausage back to the pan.
-
In a large bowl combine sausage and vegetable mixture, toasted bread cubes, and remaining 1 1/2 cups broth.
-
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil. Spread stuffing mixture inside pan.
-
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until stuffing is crisp, crunchy, and golden brown on top.
-
Serve immediately. If needing to reheat, use the oven so the stuffing will stay crispy on top!
