    This gluten-free stuffing recipe with sausage is a classic, simple holiday side dish - the perfect Thanksgiving stuffing! First thing's first - dressing or stuffing? 😉 Just kidding..my husband (the English teacher) was happy to inform me that this gluten-free stuffing recipe with sausage should technically be called a gluten-free dressing recipe because dressing is when it's baked on the outside and stuffing is when it's actually cooked inside a turkey. Yeah, yeah...semantics. 😉 No matter what you call it, this gluten-free stuffing is a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving menu!

    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.

    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 ¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth (divided)
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ½ tsp ground dried sage
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
    US Customary - Metric

    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 ¼ 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 ½ 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!

        I haven't tried it, but I think it should work! Just be sure to dry/ "stale" the cornbread enough!
