🍞 Ingredients
- Gluten-Free Bread: You can use your favorite gluten free bread for this recipe. Luckily it is readily available in most grocery stores. I like buying Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread.
- Butter or Ghee: Gives this stuffing a great buttery flavor that’s classic in stuffing or dressing.
- The Vegetables: Celery, Onion & Garlic add classic savory holiday flavor.
- Coconut Aminos or Tamari (Gluten Free Soy Sauce): This may seem out of place for stuffing, but this extra hint of flavor really makes a great layer of flavor. Everyone will wonder why it’s so good!
- Poultry Seasoning: This seasoning mix has all of the classic poultry herb flavors including rosemary, sage, marjoram, and thyme. It’s worth it to buy a bottle every holiday season!
- Chicken or Turkey Stock: Soaks through the bread making it even more flavorful. Even better if you make your own Homemade Bone Broth from rotisserie chicken!
- Eggs (whisked): A couple of eggs add moisture to the bread, making it a soft and delicious stuffing.
- Dried Cranberries: These add a hint of tart and sweetness to each bite of savory gluten-free stuffing.
