A very special recipe from our family to yours. We’ve always been stuffing people. This was the dish we’d savor and then lament when it was gone. When Olivia (my little sister) and Melanie (my mom) went gluten-free, we faced the emotional hurdle of getting the stuffing right. It took years of experiments gone wrong, settling for “almost” versions, and eventually giving up on ever recreating the nostalgic taste of Grandma Gloria’s Thanksgiving spread.
Every gluten-free boxed stuffing and every organic dairy-free cream of mushroom soup left us feeling defeated and hopeless. Eventually, we realized we needed to make things as much from scratch as possible—so we could control the ingredients, the freshness, and the cooking technique. This recipe really came together only in the last few years, when I took over stuffing preparation.
I, Maria (co-owner of Olivia’s Organic Cafe), don’t need to eat gluten-free or dairy-free. I know exactly what stuffing is supposed to taste like at its very best. So I set out to get this recipe right, no matter the time or cost. What emerged is an utterly decadent, moist, richly flavorful dish that’s actually a joy to make. And while it’s not something we’ll be putting on the café menu anytime soon, I wanted to share it with you in hopes that you and your loved ones—gluten-free or not—can gather around the same dish and experience the same soul-nourishing joy. No one ever asks if my stuffing is gluten-free; they just say it’s delicious.
If you do end up trying this, please share how it goes for you! And one more thing—I forgot to add my reheating tip: drizzle a little turkey stock over the stuffing, cover it, and then reheat so it stays perfectly moist.
