For someone on a gluten-free diet, the Thanksgiving table can look like one large buffet of “do not touch.” However, with a little work and cooperation from family and friends, the meal can be something you’re truly thankful for.
First, let’s start with the good news!
Here’s a list of foods that are usually gluten-free:
- Turkey (check with the producer to ensure that wheat-based gravy or stuffing hasn’t been added to the turkey.)
- Cranberries and cranberry sauce
- Sweet Potatoes
- White Potatoes
- Fresh, roasted, or steamed vegetables without sauce (sauces often contain wheat)
- Brown, white, and wild rice (be sure they contain no sauces or wheat-based seasonings)
- Chestnuts
Here are foods that usually contain gluten:
- Vegetable dips
- Salad dressing (many but not all pre-made salad dressings contain wheat)
- Stuffing/dressing, including cornbread stuffing.
- Gravy
- Green Bean Casserole
- Pie Crusts
- Any vegetable dish with a thickened sauce
- Any dish containing soy sauce.
Dos and Don’ts of a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving—for a gluten-free eater (if you’re hosting someone on the gluten-free diet for Thanksgiving, there’s a list below for you, too!)
- Do…call your host before Thanksgiving. Discuss your needs and how you plan on handling them.
- Do…serve yourself first. If you aren’t bringing your own food, be sure to serve yourself before everyone else does. I know this sounds rude and selfish. However, it’s the only way to prevent potential cross-contact with gluten-filled foods.
- Do…bring yourself something you love. If your host is unable to accommodate a part of the meal you love, such as rolls, bring them yourself.
- Do…ask for brands and ingredients that will be used to prepare the Thanksgiving meal. Remind your host about “hidden gluten”–such as soy sauce or flouring cake pans or gluten in prepared foods.
- Do…plan for the best but expect the worst. Even with the best planning things sometimes go wrong. Remember to ask questions before the meal. Thanksgiving is a hectic day and sometimes things can change at the last minute.
- Do….familiarize yourself with dishes that might contain gluten so you’ll know to avoid them.
- Don’t….serve yourself a dish with a “shared” serving spoon. If people are scooping wheat-based stuffing and then using that same scoop to serve Brussels sprouts, the vegetables are no longer gluten-free. Take care to avoid any food that has come in contact with wheat/gluten.
- Don’t…forget about small amounts of gluten. If the gravy was thickened with “just a little” flour or the vegetables contain “just a little soy sauce” or the dessert contains “just a little” non-gluten-free oats, avoid them. Remember, gluten can be obvious and not-so-obvious. When in doubt, ask questions or skip the dish.
- Don’t…cheat. It might be tempting to cheat but don’t. Your good health is worth staying on the gluten-free diet. By doing a little pre-planning, you can avoid gluten and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Dos and Don’ts of a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving—for a non-gluten-free host
- Do…talk to your guest about what you’re making. Talk about ingredients and brands that are safe, and not safe, for someone who eats gluten-free.
- Do…understand that even a small amount of gluten can make someone sick. Your gluten-free guest isn’t trying to be picky. They are trying to stay healthy.
- Do…prepare gluten-free foods first. After that prep is done, prepare foods made with wheat. Doing this limits the chances of cross contact with wheat occurring.
- Do…keep gluten-free and gluten-filled food on separate ends of the table or buffet. If possible, use note cards to mark which foods are gluten-free and which are not.
- Do…change things up a little. Perhaps prepare a naturally gluten-free rice stuffing or swap your pie crust for one that’s gluten-free. Lots of little changes make a big difference.
- Don’t…assume a food/ingredient is gluten-free. Gluten can be found in unlikely places, like in prepared chicken broth. In the days before Thanksgiving, go over your shopping list and contact manufacturers with any questions about the gluten-free status of an ingredient.
To help with your meal, here are some gluten-free recipes for classic Thanksgiving dishes.
Gluten-Free Green Bean Casserole
15 Recipes for a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving

September 13 is Celiac Awareness Day! Celebrated on the birthday of Samuel Gee, the physician who, in 1888, made the connection between the celiac disease and diet, the day calls attention to what was once a little known autoimmune disease.
When someone with celiac disease eats gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley, a serious immune response occurs in the small intestine. This reaction damages the villi that line the intestine walls. When villi are inflamed, absorption of key nutrients is diminished, causing malnourishment and other ailments. Symptoms of celiac disease are incredibly varied. The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness states that there are over 300 symptoms of celiac disease. Untreated celiac disease is linked to other autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and cancer. Blood work ordered by a physician is the first step in diagnosing the disease.
Once diagnosed, a diet free from gluten remains the only cure for celiac disease. If someone with celiac consumes even the smallest amount of gluten (think: crumbs), the immune system is triggered.
However, avoiding gluten doesn’t mean avoiding whole grains! Whole-grain flours, like their gluten-filled cousins, are high in fiber and contain important nutrients. In the past, whole grain gluten-free products were tough to find and required mail order or long drives to specialty shops. This meant that many of us on a gluten-free diet stuck to the “white stuff”: rice flours and starches.
Now whole grain gluten-free products are more commonly available. Sorghum, quinoa, millet, and buckwheat flours are now shelved alongside white rice flour and whole grains are included in more commercially prepared gluten-free products.
Since everyone, whether they have celiac disease or not, should aim to consume three to five servings of whole grains per day, here are three ways to incorporate more whole grains into your gluten-free diet:
- Bake with Whole Grains
- Enjoy whole grains as a savory side dish.
- Look For Whole Grains on the Label
3 tablespoons ground flax meal
1/4 cup hot water
5 ounces (1 1/4 cups) sorghum flour
4 ounces (3/4 cup) brown rice flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup soy-free shortening or coconut oil
4 ounces (1/2 cup) dark brown sugar
3 1/2 ounces (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces vegan and/or allergen free chocolate chips
Center oven racks in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In small bowl, whisk together ground flax and hot water. Set aside.
In medium bowl, whisk together sorghum flour, brown rice flour, baking soda, and salt.
In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment (or large bowl), cream together shortening and sugars on medium high speed. Cream until a thick paste forms, about 30 seconds. Add flax mixture and vanilla. Cream until mixture is light and fluffy, about 45 seconds.
Stop mixer and scrape down bottom and sides of bowl. Add dry ingredients. Turn mixer on to medium speed. Mix until dough forms, about 30 seconds. Turn off mixer and add chocolate chips. Turn mixer on to low speed. Mix until chips are combined, about 15 seconds.
Drop dough, about one tablespoon each, onto prepared baking sheet, about two inches apart. Bake until cookies are golden brown and aromatic, about 14 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and allow cookies to cool on pan for two minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to four days.
Makes about two dozen cookies.
At Price Chopper, you can find gluten free items throughout the store. Pick up a gluten free guide at the Guest Services desk in your store.
