When it comes to Thanksgiving recipes, I’ve got you covered! Here’s a round-up of my favorite grain-free Thanksgiving recipes for you and your family to enjoy:
Grain-Free “White” Dinner Rolls – The family is head-over-heels for these rolls. They asked me to make a double batch for Thanksgiving this year.
“Cornbread” and Sausage Stuffing – Homemade grain-free “corn” bread, sautéed onions, celery, sausage, chicken stock, eggs and herbs make for a nutrient dense and healthy addition to the holiday table.
Apple Pie – My favorite apple pie delivers a flaky crust, soft sweet cinnamon-wrapped apples and a lovely crunchy topping with just a touch of sea salt to balance out the sweetness.
Kale Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette and Walnuts – Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, a dinner party, or Christmas dinner, a bit of bright green and red adds a fresh touch to the plate.
Cheesy Jalapeño “Cornbread” – A revised old-time favorite in our family.
Mashed Cauliflower – Maybe not a fancy dish, but a welcome one. Creamy and buttery, but without all the carbs.
Sweet Potato Casserole – This version isn’t too sweet, but you can add additional honey if you want. Use either cream or coconut milk depending on your dietary needs.
Pumpkin Pie – This pumpkin pie is subtly sweet and has a nice custard-like filling – nothing too thick.
Pecan Pie (without corn syrup!) – Pecan pie is the epitome of Thanksgiving for me. After a savory meal, I get a cup of coffee, a slice of pecan pie and enjoy the conversation.
Sautéed Leafy Greens – A powerhouse of nutrients in just a few bites! It pairs well with turkey or ham.
Vegetable Tian – A layering of vegetables makes for a colorful and nutritious side-dish.
Grain-Free Stuffing – An all-time favorite here at Deliciously Organic. I’ve had many readers comment and say their family devoured it and had no idea it was grain-free! The buttery grain-free biscuits are dried and combined with the onions, sage and butter, you’ve got a dressing recipe that will meet everyone’s expectations!
Pumpkin Cheesecake – You can take out the pumpkin and spices and add cocoa for a mocha flavor, lemon juice and some zest for a citrus cheesecake, or leave out the pumpkin all together for a maple cheesecake.
Cranberry-Persimmon Sauce – While cranberry sauce is generally cooked with loads of sugar, I replaced the sugar with a mild clover honey and threw in a few whole cloves. The result is a sophisticated cranberry sauce with sweet-tart persimmons, a hint of wine,and a touch of spice.
Green Beans with Brown Butter and Pepitas – I love the simplicity of these green beans blanched and tossed with brown butter.
Wish we would have found this sooner for Thanksgiving, but Christmas is right around the corner! Thanks for the fabulous ideas!
hi there – Awesome website – I cannot wait to try the “cornbread” stuffing!
I just wanted to point out that your Grain Free “white” rolls are under GAPS in the categories and arrowroot and baking powder are not GAPS legal – no big deal but just for people that are just starting out.. it can be confusing. Once my son has a full 6 months or so of healthy digestion, I will introduce arrowroot and try these lovely rolls. 🙂
Thanks! That was an oversight. I’ll make the edit. 🙂
I am looking forward to trying these recipes! Reading you side note about yourself has given me hope, I was diagnosed in Dec. ’13 with Hashimoto’s and am trying to get it under control through supplements and diet. I am also gluten sensitive, which I found out through eliminating gluten from my diet for two week and then eating a piece of pizza, that had me bed ridden for a week with every joint in my body swollen, but I have been taking the next step and going grain free, so far I am loving the new found energy and overall feeling better. Thank you, for testing and posting these recipes for those like myself.
Love your website and recipes! They are so helpful! I am trying to find a gluten free gravy to serve with my turkey. Any suggestions?
Here’s a great recipe! http://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/how-to/article/gluten-free-gravy
Hi Carrie, our grain free guru!
I am wondering if you have any suggestions for cooking a thanksgiving turkey? Everyone suggests an oven bag, but somehow this doesn’t seem like it’s the safest (for our bodies) method of turkey cooking. My turkey is just mediocre every year and the bag and brining are the only things I haven’t tried. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you for all of your information. Last week I started my journey with a functional medicine practitioner to reverse Hashimoto’s, and you are my inspiration! I got ‘grain free family table’ a year ago and absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing your story! This all feels overwhelming but I’m so excited to take back control of my body! Happy thanksgiving and blessings to you and your family!
We usually smoke our turkey, but here’s a great roasted turkey recipe. Brining the turkey the night before makes a huge difference! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! 🙂
