Six Easy Stuffing Recipes for Every Preference (Gluten free, Grain Free Options)

The stuffing recipes here at Spinach Tiger have evolved over the years. Although I was raised in the northeast, where bread was cubed and turned into stuffing, not dressing, with a base of celery, onions and sage, I can now appreciate both.

When I was growing up, the stuffing was actually stuffed into the bird and that was my favorite part. I liked it soft and moist, as opposed to crispy edges.

More recently, I’ve changed my tastes, as at some point stuffing the bird became unsafe, and the only bread stuffing available had those crispy edges I grew to love, as long as there was gravy.

When I moved to the south, I discovered there was no stuffing. There was dressing, made with cornbread and on the sweeter side, although it still included the basic ingredients of celery, onion and sage.

After you get the basics down, the fun begins, because you can add in your favorite flavor/texture additions.

All of these are easy stuffing recipes, that can be adapted.

Grain Free Stuffing. This is my personal favorite. Grain Free Stuffing made with these grain free biscuits.  Recipe Here.

Apple Sausage Sage Stuffing. We love sausage, or sausage with apples. This stuffing has all the Fall flavors and is a mix of crispy top and very moist underneath.  You can skip the sausage and just do apples or add in pecans. Recipe Here.

Cornbread Dressing with Homemade Corn Bread. Recipe Here. 

Cornbread Dressing with Sausage and Pecans. Recipe here.

Grain Free Stuffing that tastes like dressing, although there is no corn. My secret is using these grain free sweet potato biscuits and following this stuffing recipe.
