Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays! Family and friends gather without the pressure of gifting, decorating, or even dressing up. The focus is on gratitude and food. What’s not to love? Well, if you’re the host, and you want or need to create a gluten-free Thanksgiving menu, you may not feel so at ease. We’re here to help you navigate this special holiday with a done-for you Thanksgiving menu. It includes a Thanksgiving grocery list, 7 gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes, prep time guideline, and even printable menu cards.

This post includes four downloadable and printable PDFs with everything you need to get your gluten-free Thanksgiving menu on the table with ease and pride.
- 7 Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Recipes (everything but the turkey)
- Thanksgiving Grocery List

Our gluten-free Thanksgiving menu includes “everything but the turkey,” since most people already have their tried-and-true method for roasting, smoking, grilling, or frying a turkey. Here, we’ve included 7 gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes. Included is one beverage recipe, one appetizer recipe, one salad recipe, three side dish recipes, and one dessert recipe (yes, pie!). If you have other must-have favorites (such as a beloved potatoes or gravy recipe), you can easily add those to this menu. If you just want to make what’s included here (plus your turkey), we guarantee you’ll be satisfied and your guests will be, too!

Thank you so much for compiling this! Definitely my new go-to for meal planning a turkey dinner with all the fixings.
You are very welcome, Nicole!
But how do I cook the Turkey??? First time doing Thanksgiving just us and I’ve never had to cook the Turkey before… help?!
Hi Leslie, this particular menu doesn’t include the turkey recipe, since most people like to find their own. This menu includes all of the supporting dishes – appetizer, drink, sides, salad, and dessert. We hope that’s helpful!
