Gluten Free Holiday Stuffing With Tempeh Sausage And Veggies Food

CLASSIC GLUTEN-FREE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the bread cubes in a large bowl. Heat the stock in a small pan on high heat until boiling. Reduce the heat and set to simmer on the back burner.
• Beat the eggs together in a bowl.
• Set a large saute pan on medium-high heat and warm the oil and butter. When the liquids move around the pan easily, add the celery and onion. Cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 7 minutes.
• Add the rosemary, sage and thyme and cook, stirring, until they release their fragrance, about 1 minute. Add the celery mixture to the bread cubes and toss to combine. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole pan.
• Pour a few tablespoons of the hot stock into the beaten eggs and quickly stir until the stock is incorporated. Slowly add the remaining stock, continuing to stir.
• Pour the eggy stock over the pan of bread cubes. Press down on the cubes with your hands to distribute the liquid evenly. Cover the casserole pan with foil.
• Bake the stuffing for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until the stuffing is steaming hot and browned, but not dry, about 10 minutes more. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
• Cover with gravy, immediately.

GLUTEN-FREE SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Chop bread into 3/4" cubes.
• Optional: if bread is very fresh, put in the oven at 250F for about 10-15 minutes to slightly harden.
• In a large skillet, crumble sausage and cook until browned.
• Remove cooked sausage from pan, leaving drippings behind.
• Add 2 tbsp butter to pan.
• Add onion and celery, and cook over medium-low heat until tender.
• In a large bowl, combine bread, sausage, vegetables, and poultry seasoning. To prepare in advance, stop here and refrigerate.
• Mix the eggs into the chicken stock.
• Pour this liquid over the bread mixture and gently stir to mix.
• Pour from bowl into greased 9x13" baking pan.
• Cut remaining butter into small cubes and sprinkle over the stuffing.
• Bake at 375F until crispy on top and liquid has all absorbed into bread, about 35 minutes.

BETTER-THAN-BOXED VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread bread cubes out onto 2 baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bread cubes are dry and lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Melt vegan butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion and saute until vegetables are softened but celery still has a bit of snap, about 5 minutes. Season with parsley, sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, rosemary, and marjoram. Cook and stir for 1 more minute. Stir in vegetable stock and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. After it reaches a boil, remove from heat.
• Pour stock, vegetable, and herb mixture over bread cubes in the mixing bowl. Stir gently until well combined. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove foil, fluff stuffing with a fork, and serve.

GLUTEN-FREE SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, beat eggs. In 5-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer cooked sausage to bowl with eggs; turn to coat. Reserve Dutch oven with drippings.
• Add onions, celery, salt and pepper to drippings in Dutch oven; cook over medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in broth; heat to simmering, stirring constantly. Remove Dutch oven from heat. Cool 5 minutes.
• Stir sausage mixture and bread cubes into mixture in Dutch oven. Gently toss until bread cubes are evenly coated. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.
• Spoon stuffing into baking dish; top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Cover with foil; bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 12 to 15 minutes longer or until stuffing is brown and hot in center (at least 165°F). Top with sage and thyme.

GLUTEN-FREE HOLIDAY STUFFING WITH TEMPEH SAUSAGE AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Start by toasting your fennel seeds in a large skillet over medium high heat. Stir frequently and toast about 2-3 minutes. Next add your tempeh with whatever leftover marinade is in the container + 1 cup vegetable broth + 1/2 cup of water. Cook on medium high heat, flipping every 4-5 minutes until most of liquid has thickened (about 15 minutes total).
• While the tempeh is cooking, start sauteing your onions and celery in a large pot, adding vegetable broth a few tablespoons at a time to keep it from sticking. Cook till onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Next add carrots and mushrooms and lower heat to a medium simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes. While waiting, prepare your flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp with water. I like to stick it in the fridge for 5 minutes to gel.
• Add both the finished tempeh and sauteed vegetables (no need to discard liquid) to a large bowl. Next add your nutritional yeast, salt & pepper to taste, and flax egg and stir well.
• Add the fresh herbs, cranberries, and cubed dried bread and stir once more. Now pour the remaining vegetable broth and stir until all bread has been soaked in the broth. Add to a 9 x 13 rimmed baking dish and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes. Top should be lightly browned and slightly crisp to the touch
• Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 5 days. Recommend to reheat in toaster oven or oven for texture, but microwave is good too ;)
