Steeped in tradition and classic recipes, the typical Thanksgiving feast is a game of dodgeball for those who choose not to eat gluten for dietary or other reasons. It's easy to end up consuming this pesky ingredient because it seems to sneak into just about every other dish. To ensure that everyone can enjoy their favorites dishes, both old and new, we've put together this gallery of our best gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes. 

The turkey most likely doesn't contain gluten, but most gravies do, so serve a Roasted Dry Brined Turkey and a Turkey Gravy recipe that doesn't. Now that the main is covered, it's time to move on to the abundance of side dishes. Watch out for the usual green bean casserole, which has gluten lurking in the sauce and on the crispy fried onions. Instead, prepare our gluten-free Buttered Green Beans with Shallots and Lemon. Love stuffing? Don't feel sad that you can't have this bread-filled side—instead, upgrade it by preparing a Spicy Wild Rice stuffing and indulge.

Lastly, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without pie. For the pumpkin lovers among us, we have included our Gluten-Free Spiced Pumpkin Pie which has a crisp rice and almond crust might be even better than the original graham cracker crust. For those who already have their favorite pie recipe, make it using our best Gluten-Free Pie Crust. It can be used seamlessly in place of regular pie crust.

Remember that preparing a gluten-free Thanksgiving meal doesn't mean that you can't have or serve all the things you love at this celebratory gathering; you just need to prepare them differently. Read on for recipes that adjust Thanksgiving classics and for delicious sides that just happen to be gluten free to help you plan this year's feast, along with gluten-free tips.

Simple Turkey Gravy (and Easy Roasted Dry-Brined Turkey)

Most turkeys, like our Easy Roasted Dry Brined Turkey, will be a safe bet for the no-gluten crowd. Gravy, on the other hand, is a major red flag because it is usually thickened with flour. In this silky gravy, we say no to gluten and use cornstarch to get that perfect gravy consistency.

Spiced Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is definitely the most iconic Thanksgiving dessert, and it shouldn't be skipped just because you don't eat gluten. Instead, swap out the typical pastry or graham cracker crust with this nutty and crunchy crust prepared with crisp rice cereal and ground almonds; it's a delightful gluten-free option.

Big Martha's Mashed Potatoes with Cream Cheese

Cream cheese might just be the secret ingredient that makes gravy's main side kick, mashed potatoes, even better. Here, in Martha's mom's recipe, the creaminess factor is updated with this rich cheese while also lending a tangy bite to cut through the richness, bringing new perspective to this must have Thanksgiving side.

Spicy Wild Rice Stuffing

If you don't eat gluten, stuffing isn't off the table for you. Just swap the bread for this stuffing that features nutty wild rice studded with jalapeño, pepitas, raisins, and coriander. Delicious baked on its own, it can also be stuffed into the turkey, either option providing that homey good feeling of warm steaming stuffing.

Not all creamy casseroles are off the menu for those who follow a gluten-free diet. In this recipe, the creamy sauce is thickened by reducing half and half with sage and garlic before using it to smother shingled sweet potatoes, then baking the casserole in the oven.

Get your green bean fix without the gluten; just say no to green bean casserole and serve these lemony buttered green beans. They're topped with crispy, fried shallots, the crispy topping is definitely the best part of the casserole and making them homemade ensures they are safe for everyone to eat.

Cranberry Mule

Safely navigate Thanksgiving with this sparkling pink cranberry cocktail in hand by making sure the vodka is gluten-free. If the vodka is pure distilled without any additives, the distilling process should remove all the gluten. It's generally easy to play it safe, as there are plenty of quality brands that specifically state they are gluten-free.

Cranberry relish is a must-have gluten-free sauce to pair with turkey and sides, and this delightful and easy recipe keeps the flavor fresh with sherry vinegar and a mild spiciness from fresh ginger. Make this relish up to a week in advance and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Adapt your favorite pie by using this gluten-free pie dough that is easy as can be to make. Don't bother buying different gluten-free flours and trying to make your own blend; instead, purchase a tried-and-true gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend has a one-to-one swap ratio with regular flour or buy our favorite brand Cup4Cup, which never disappoints.

Citrusy and slightly sweet cardamom is the spice you didn't know belonged on the Thanksgiving table until you tried these perfect roasted sweet potato rounds. Cilantro adds a note of freshness, but any leafy green herb can be substituted in if cilantro isn't your preference.
