For the Stuffing
- 1 Batch Gluten Free Croutons
- ¼ cup Butter or Ghee
- 1.5 cups Celery diced
- 1.5 cups White Onion diced
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 cup Dried Cranberries

- 2 cups Chicken or Turkey Stock
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tbsp Poultry Seasoning
- 1 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F, preparing it to toast the gluten-free bread cubes.
- Prep the Bread: Cut gluten-free bread into small, even-sized cubes. In a large mixing bowl, toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to season. Arrange the bread cubes in a single, even layer on a baking sheet.
- Toast the Bread: Bake the bread cubes in the preheated oven, tossing every 5-8 minutes, until they’re golden and toasted but not burned. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Once toasted, set them aside to cool, and increase the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add the chopped celery, onions, and minced garlic. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted gluten-free bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, fresh herbs, coconut aminos, and chicken or turkey stock, gently tossing to coat.
- Add Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, then pour over the bread mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss everything until it’s evenly coated and well combined.
- Bake the Stuffing: Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish, pressing down slightly for an even layer. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
- Finish Baking Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top of the gluten-free stuffing is golden brown and toasted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot as a flavorful gluten-free side dish for Thanksgiving or holiday meals. It pairs perfectly with gluten-free turkey, mashed potatoes, and other holiday favorites!
