On Thanksgiving, Turkey might get top billing but it’s often the side dishes that steal the show. If you avoid gluten, however, it can feel like many of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes — stuffing, gravy, rolls — are off-limits.
Thankfully, it doesn’t need to be this way! Here’s a list of ten gluten-free dishes and desserts that are perfect for your Thanksgiving table.
1. Gluten-Free Bread Stuffing
Traditional bread stuffing goes gluten-free. This easy recipe includes sausage and sage but you can customize it to fit your family’s tastes.

3. Gluten-Free Gravy
Is it Thanksgiving without gravy? Doubtful. You can, of course, make a gluten-free gravy with cornstarch. But if you love the deep flavor of a flour-thickened gravy, this one’s for you.

5. Gluten-Free Cornbread
The bread basket is always abundant on Thanksgiving (Along with someone saying, “Don’t let me fill up on bread!”). This hearty, not-sweet cornbread, is delicious. And wonderful the next morning, toasted and served with butter.
