Nemom Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I really miss stuffing since going GF five years ago. I've tried using homemade GF bread and store bought GF bread. I can't seem to get it right. (I made awesome stuffing before going GF so it's not necessarily the cook. ;-)) Has anyone found a way to make good, non-soggy GF stuffing? I would prefer store bought bread just to save on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Not sure if it's going to be good or not, but I just bought Trader Joe's GF stuffing mix. :) Need to do a test-run before Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I just use Udi's white bread and make my stuffing exactly like I always have. I think sogginess depends on how much broth/liquid you buss and how much you cook it uncovered. I bake mine uncovered for a pretty long time.

Forgot to say, I bought that too. I plan to combine it with my regular stuffing recipe. The cashier told me it's really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 :bigear: This is my first Thanksgiving GF. I usually make homemade cornbread for my stuffing, so I think GF flour can sub. I have to decide if I am cheating with the corn since I severely limit it. I have my pinterest stuffed with options but haven't made any to test. My original recipe doesn't have bread "cubes" it is mushy, you just bake until its crispy on top. Also, it might help to dry out the GF bread before making the stuffing.

Crimson Wife Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Glutino has an okay-tasting GF cornbread stuffing and I've found that baking it separately from the bird in a casserole dish helps with the texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemom Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Unfortunately Trader Joe's is not close but next time I am in that area, I will try to remember to stop in and grab some. I have tried Udi's before. I have tried drying the bread out and toasting it in the oven first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Glutino has an okay-tasting GF cornbread stuffing and I've found that baking it separately from the bird in a casserole dish helps with the texture.I just bought that at Target a few weeks ago. We really liked, though I added lots of sautéed onion and celery and used homemade turkey broth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I find toasting the bread cubes in the oven before combining with other ingredients helps to keep the stuffing from getting soggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWillSoar Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I used a mix last year and it came out pretty good. The time I made it with cut up bread, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I use the cornbread stuffing recipe in the JOC. I use my own cornbread recipe with cornmeal and almond flour as the base. It's delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austen Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I like Glutino's too. I've also made it with cornbread. I like the cornbread stuffing recipe in Cooking With Isaiah a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemom Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Not sure if it's going to be good or not, but I just bought Trader Joe's GF stuffing mix. :) Need to do a test-run before Thanksgiving. Made the long trek to the other side of town today just for Trader Joe's stuffing. Gone. The clerk told me that it didn't even last two weeks and the supplier does not have anymore. I was so looking forward to stuffing this weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 FYI: The Target stores in my area have the Glutino's stuffing on clearance for approx $3.25. One store had it stocked on three different end caps, but on the bottom shelf, under a large display of Stove Top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'm hoarding my TJ's stuffing mix until Thanksgiving as I can't get another box. I may try and go to Target and pick up the Glutino. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer&Mom Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Mariposa bakery is a gluten free bakery in Oakland that does online sales. Their bread cubes make amazing stuffing. Maybe more trouble than it's worth, but I had to recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan C. Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 ADDING: I am remembering how I make my homemade cornbread stuffing (I only make it once a year). I make my homemade cornbread (GF flour this year) and add onion powder, more salt, sage. And bake it WAY OVER the time it says to. Until the top is brown, but not burnt. In others words, to dry it out as much as possible. Then I proceed with my recipe which is basically broth, celery, onions, more sage (fresh cut up). I am using a small amount of ghee this year, and olive oil, replacing the butter (we are dairy free as well). I bake it uncovered until its crispy on top, which is again, longer than the recipe states. It still is a bit mushy, but we like it that way. Good luck to all of you!

umsami Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Is the TJ's GF stuffing also nut free? It says contains: eggs, milk, soy. It does not say it was manufactured in a facility that uses tree nuts, but does not state nut-free either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use Udi's or Rudi's bread - dry it out in the oven and then crumble (or put in a bag and hit it with the meat tenderizer a few times). I sauté onions and celery, add them to the crumbs with seasoning (can't remember exactly what, but I know it includes salt, pepper, and sage) with chicken broth and bake. I keep mine covered but make sure it doesn't get too soggy. We don't like it dry, but prefer it not to be mush also. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
