Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without stuffing!

I know, not everyone likes stuffing but I do. Last year, I attempted to make my own gluten free stuffing. I made some gluten free cornbread and then used that to make stuffing and it turned out pretty awful. It was like slop. Just a big old pan full of slop and I hated it. Thankfully, I made sausage rice because my kids hate stuffing and that is what I always make for them instead so I wasn't completely void of a stuffing substitute but it wasn't truly stuffing. This year Aldi had the Live G-Free Turkey gluten free stuffing and they also had chicken gluten free stuffing. So I picked up some of both. I had the turkey stuffing for Thanksgiving and I have the chicken stuffing set aside for later this month when I try the chicken and stuffing instant pot recipe that I used to make with regular stuffing back before I found out about my gluten sensitivity.

So, what did I think of the gluten free stuffing?

I thought it was FANTASTIC on the day of Thanksgiving. My only problem with it was the reheat on following days. For some reason the gluten free stuffing becomes VERY hard and dry so if you just reheat it in the microwave it's pretty awful. What I had to do was to spoon some left over gravy over the top of it and warm it up that way so it warmed it up and rehydrated the stuffing at the same time. If you warm it back up that way it's good but not on it's own so be warned if you get the Live G-free stuffing from Aldi it's best to just make enough for the meal with no left overs or just make sure you have gravy on hand for reheating leftovers.

So there you have it, Live G-free gluten free turkey stuffing from Aldi.
