Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cornbread

Gluten-free pumpkin cornbread is made with just enough pumpkin puree to give it a really sunny color and light pumpkin flavor. The pumpkin puree replaces a portion of the fat, making this recipe a lower fat, gluten-free version of classic cornbread.
A reminder for busy gluten-free holiday cooks: Always make sure your work surfaces, utensils, pans and tools are free of gluten. Always read product labels. Manufacturers can change product formulations without notice. When in doubt, do not buy or use a product before contacting the manufacturer for verification that the product is free of gluten.

Just in Time for Thanksgiving - New Gluten-Free Product from Butterball

Megan over at triumphdining.com just emailed me with news that should excite a number of gluten-free cooks this Thanksgiving- several specialty Butterball turkey products are now available with a gluten-free gravy concentrate packet.
Tiffany, triumphdining.com's terrific blogger recently spoke with Butterball Turkey Talk Line and suggests that consumers continue to carefully read labels because the gluten-free gravy packet is not included in all Butterball turkey products, just some of their specialty products including Ready to Roast turkeys, 'Lil Butterball turkeys and whole turkey breasts- but not whole turkeys.
The take-away message, continue to carefully read labels because some stores may still be selling some of the older specialty products which do not contain the gluten-free gravy concentrate packets.
Read more about the new Butterball gluten-free products from Tiffany at triumphdining.com. You'll get her interesting take on the story!
Triumph Dining is the publisher of the "Essential Gluten-Free Grocery Guide" and "The Essential Gluten-Free Dining Guide + Cards", wonderful publications that make it easier to find gluten-free foods at the grocery and in restaurants.

Gluten-Free Pecan Pie

The "other" Thanksgiving pie at my house is gluten-free pecan pie. This recipe is so easy to make that I've never found a good reason not to make it.
The very sweet filling is mixed in a blender and the pie dough can be prepared ahead of time in a food processor and refrigerated until you're ready to bake it. So if you are thinking about making two pies for your Thanksgiving gathering, think about making this easy, toasty sweet gluten-free classic pie.

Food Processor Gluten-Free Pie and Tart Crust

A food processor makes quick work of preparing gluten-free pie crusts. That's why my old, hard working food processor is my very favorite kitchen tool in the days leading up to Thanksgiving!
You can really get ahead of schedule by preparing this buttery, tender gluten-free pie dough several days before you are ready to bake and store the dough ball(s) tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. Just bring dough to room temperature before you are ready to roll it.
Also consider baking your pie crusts in a tart pan with a removable bottom. These amazing pans make shaping pie crust and cutting and serving pies so much easier. And the crimped edges of the pans make such beautiful looking pies! Most large cookware shops and even some of the big discount chains carry these handy pans in a variety of sizes and shapes. I love mine!

Gluten-Free Turkey Gravy

Gluten-free turkey gravy is easy to make and just as delicious as wheat-based gravy. This is a staple recipe for gluten-free Thanksgiving menus but it's just as enjoyable in July, served with grilled turkey.
This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make using the super flavorful pan juices from the turkey roasting pan (no need to buy commercial gluten-free stock) and was adapted for gluten-free diets from a 5-star turkey gravy recipe from About.com Guide to Southern Food, Diana Rattray.
