CLASSIC GLUTEN-FREE STUFFING

Provided by Shauna Ahern

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 cups gluten-free 1-inch bread cubes (from about 2 sandwich loaves)
2 cups turkey or chicken stock
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 ribs celery, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Gravy, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the bread cubes in a large bowl. Heat the stock in a small pan on high heat until boiling. Reduce the heat and set to simmer on the back burner.
  • Beat the eggs together in a bowl.
  • Set a large saute pan on medium-high heat and warm the oil and butter. When the liquids move around the pan easily, add the celery and onion. Cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the rosemary, sage and thyme and cook, stirring, until they release their fragrance, about 1 minute. Add the celery mixture to the bread cubes and toss to combine. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole pan.
  • Pour a few tablespoons of the hot stock into the beaten eggs and quickly stir until the stock is incorporated. Slowly add the remaining stock, continuing to stir.
  • Pour the eggy stock over the pan of bread cubes. Press down on the cubes with your hands to distribute the liquid evenly. Cover the casserole pan with foil.
  • Bake the stuffing for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until the stuffing is steaming hot and browned, but not dry, about 10 minutes more. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
  • Cover with gravy, immediately.

GLUTEN-FREE SAUSAGE STUFFING



Gluten-Free Sausage Stuffing image

This was one of the best types of stuffing I have ever had, so I wanted to remember exactly what I did! I used Wegmans store brand "sage pork sausage" but you could use a breakfast sausage, and perhaps add a little extra dried ground sage. If you need this to be gluten-free, be sure to check ALL your ingredients, including the sausage!
