Can I make Turkey Stuffing Casserole gluten free?

You’ll need to replace two ingredients to make this casserole gluten-free. 1) Buy store-bought gluten-free stuffing in the health food section. Or, you can make our homemade stuffing recipe using gluten-free bread instead. 2) Buy gluten-free cream of chicken soup at the store or make our homemade cream of chicken soup using gluten-free flour instead.

Can I add vegetables to Turkey Stuffing Casserole?

Yes. Some vegetables that would be good in this casserole are finely chopped broccoli florets (no need to pre-cook if chopped finely), sautéed diced onions, celery, carrots, or mushrooms, and frozen peas (no need to pre-cook).

Is the soup you use condensed, and if so, do you prepare it with water prior to use in the recipe?

It is condensed and I don’t mix with the water first.

Can I make this recipe in advance?

Yes, this is a great dish to prep ahead of time. Put the casserole together but do not bake it. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 1-2 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Instructions

Make It Now:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8×8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
Layer the casserole dish evenly with the turkey, gravy or cream of chicken soup, cheese, and finally the prepared stuffing. (Freezing instructions being here.)
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown on top. Serve hot.

Freeze For Later:

Follow steps 1 and 2. Cover tightly with a few layers of plastic wrap or foil (or an air-tight lid) and freeze.

Prepare From Frozen:

Thaw completely. Preheat oven to 350°F. Set the casserole on the counter while the oven preheats and then bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until heated through. Serve hot.

Notes/Tips

Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free stuffing and gluten-free canned cream soup.
Can I Make a Dairy-Free Version? Because there is dairy in the stuffing, soup/gravy, and cheese, this will be challenging. However, you’re welcome to omit the cheese and try to find DF versions of stuffing and soup/gravy at the store, though.
To prep in advance: Put the casserole together but do not bake it. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 1-2 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
You can use cooked chicken instead of turkey.
