Italian Skirt Steak Rolls

This is another bucket list recipe that I have had on the back burner.  It’s one of those dishes that is so easy to prepare but looks like you fussed for hours.  The little bundles of steak, prosciutto and cheese are amazing!

The Lazy Gastronome

 

Skirt Steak Rolls may remind you of another bundled meat dish, Bracciole.  But while Bracciole is simmered in tomato sauce for hours on low heat, these Skirt Steak Rolls are cooked very quickly over high heat.

Was it difficult to make this recipe gluten free?  NO, because the ingredients have always been gluten free! 

When starting the gluten free diet, you may be tempted to throw away all your old cookbooks- don’t!  There are so many recipes that you have eaten all your life that were always gluten free, or just need a change of one or two ingredients.  In time you will realize there are so many meals you can enjoy that are gluten free with no crazy ingredients to purchase!

For this recipe I used an oven safe grill pan, to sear the steak rolls on the stove top and finish them in the oven.  One pan for easy cleanup!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. skirt steak
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 oz. prosciutto
  • 2 oz. sliced provolone cheese cut into strips
  • ground pepper to taste

Preparation:

First gather your ingredients.  Mince the garlic and parsley and combine with 2 tbsp. olive oil.  Leave a few sprigs of parsley for garnish.

Lay the steak out on a cutting board covered with plastic wrap and trim away any white membrane or visible fat.

Cover the meat with another sheet of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/4″ thickness.

Cut the steak into strips, 6-8″ long.

Spread the garlic mixture evenly over the steak.

Layer the steak with prosciutto slices and top with cheese.

Now roll each piece into a bundle and secure with toothpicks.  Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350º and season the meat bundles with fresh ground pepper.  I don’t add salt, because the cheese and prosciutto have plenty of sodium.

Coat an oven safe grill pan with olive oil spray and heat to medium (you can also do this step on an outdoor grill).  Begin cooking the steak rolls in the hot pan, about 1 minute per side.

When you have some good color on the outside, transfer the pan into the oven to finish cooking.

Remove them when the internal temperature reaches 135º for medium (use a thermometer).  Tent with foil and rest 5 minutes before serving (temperature should reach 140º after resting 5 minutes).  The key to this recipe is not to overcook the meat.  A quick sear in a hot pan then finish it off in the oven, done.

Garnish with fresh parsley, and dinner is served.  I made a side of peas and a simple risotto.

Notes ♪♫  When choosing cold cuts, I look for gluten free brands like Boar’s Head or Primo Taglio.  When just a small amount of prosciutto is called for in a recipe like this one, it can be convenient (and safer) to purchase in a sealed 3 oz. package rather than having it sliced at the deli.

Gluten Free BBQ Beef Tips

Beef Tips are a year round favorite that can be served in so many ways.  I got 2 big family packs on sale earlier this summer and broke them down into 6 portions for the freezer.  Since then I have made Grilled Beef Kabobs, Asian Beef and Broccoli, and today I made the easiest BBQ Beef Tips.  This simple dish can be prepared stovetop or on the grill.

Ingredients:

Preparation:

Combine the sirloin tips with 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1/2 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning.  Cover and marinate 45 minutes at room temperature.

Heat a stainless-steel skillet on medium, brush the pan with butter and the remaining tbsp. of olive oil.  Add the sirloin tips and cook for 6 minutes, turning once.

Don’t crowd the pan, cook in batches if needed.

To finish, add 2 tbsp. gluten free BBQ sauce and toss to coat.

Cook for 1-2 more minutes.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chives.  Serve with more BBQ sauce for dipping.  BBQ Beef Tips can be served over rice or try my yummy Corn Cakes or BBQ Baked Beans!

Notes ♪♫ When I began my gluten free journey, I experimented with making my own BBQ sauce.  It is delicious, but very high in sugar.  So, when my husband was subsequently diagnosed with diabetes, I started looking for a gluten free BBQ sauce with less carbs.  Stubbs checks all my boxes, and they have several flavors to choose from.  They even have a reduced sugar option!  Check it out!

Gluten Free Beef Stew

I have been making this beef stew for many years, decades in fact.  It’s a hearty meal simmered all day in the crock-pot, a real family favorite!  Most of the ingredients are naturally gluten free, so after my diagnosis it was easy to adapt my tried and true recipe to a gluten free version.

This post contains affiliate links.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. choice stew beef, cubed
  • 2-3 extra large carrots, peeled and cut into thick coins
  • 2 russet potatoes, skin on and cut into chunks
  • 1 large sweet onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 package crimini mushrooms, cut into quarters
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil
  • 1 can gluten free cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 tsp. dry basil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • fresh Italian parsley

Preparation:

Before preparing any recipe I always go over the ingredient list to check for gluten.  Beyond the obvious things like flour, all seasonings and processed ingredients should be verified gluten free.  In this recipe, I have always used a can of cream of mushroom soup.  Since many canned soups contain gluten, I shopped around before making my stew and found this one.  It’s certified gluten free!

Now, let’s get started on the recipe.  Set up your crock-pot, and a large stainless-steel skillet (not non-stick).  Yes, you can just throw all of the ingredients into the crock-pot, but I like to build layers of flavor by browning.  This can be the difference between a mediocre stew and a great one.  Whisk together the wine, cream of mushroom soup and dried basil.

Next, begin browning the ingredients in a small amount of olive oil.  Start with the beef.

Don’t crowd the pan, you want to get some good color on the outside (if the pieces are too close together the meat will steam in its own liquid).  I did my beef in 2 batches.

Once the beef goes into the crock-pot, you will see some nice browned bits on the bottom of your skillet.

Pour 1/3 cup of the wine mixture into the hot pan to deglaze, using a spatula to scrape up all of the browned bits, they are full of flavor!

Pour the liquid into the crock-pot and add more olive oil to the skillet.  Begin browning the veggies, a few minutes each starting with the onions.

Continue with the mushrooms, followed by the potatoes and carrots.

As you brown the veggies, season with salt and pepper, and layer them in the crock-pot.  Pour the rest of the wine mixture into the crock-pot, along with the garlic and bay leaves.

Stir well, then cover and cook on low for 8 hours.  Tick-tock.

Halfway through, stir the ingredients again.  Looking good.

After 8 hours, the beef will be very tender, and a fork should slide easily through the veggies.  Serve in dinner bowls, with a sprinkle of fresh Italian parsley.

Notes ♪♫  I used Health Valley Cream of Mushroom Soup in this recipe.  I love that it is both gluten free and organic, but when I have time I also make my own Mushroom Soup from scratch.  You can find this surprisingly easy recipe here and see how I use it in my winter stews and casseroles.

Gluten Free Chicken Broccoli Casserole

The thought of preparing gluten free meals from scratch can be overwhelming.  It took a while for me to realize that there were meals I had been making for years that were naturally gluten free.  From there, I started looking at other favorite recipes that only required a swap of one or two ingredients to be gluten free.  My repertoire began to grow and now I have added many of my old favorites back to the dinner rotation.

My Chicken Broccoli Casserole is a good example.  Here’s how to make it!

This post contains affiliate links.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Rice flour for dusting
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil
  • White wine, divided use
  • ½ large sweet onion, diced
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 large broccoli crown, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz.) fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • ½ tsp. basil
  • ½ tsp. Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz. gluten free penne
  • Cooking spray
  • gluten free seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh Italian parsley for garnish

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350º.  Set up a pan of salted water for the pasta, and bring to a boil.

Cut the chicken breast into 1-1/2″ chunks.  Dust with rice flour and season with salt and pepper.  Begin browning the chicken in a little olive oil, about 3 minutes per side.  Don’t crowd the pan, use a large skillet or do it in 2 batches.

When the chicken has browned on all sides, add a splash (1/4 cup) of white wine to the pan and toss until the liquid evaporates.  Remove from the pan and set aside.

Wipe the skillet clean.  Add a little more olive oil and begin browning the onions.

When they have a little color, add the broccoli, garlic and diced tomatoes.  Add another splash of white wine, then season with salt and pepper, basil and Italian seasoning.  Cover and cook 10 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp tender.

While the vegetables are cooking, add the pasta to the boiling water.  Use your favorite (Jovial Brown Rice Penne is one of mine) and be sure to cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions.  Drain and add to the skillet, along with the reserved chicken.  Toss well.

Mist a casserole dish with cooking spray and transfer contents from the skillet in an even layer.  Drizzle with olive oil, then top it off with breadcrumbs and grated cheese.  Bake for 30 minutes.

I like to finish it off under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp up the topping.  Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

This is a real family favorite.  I hadn’t made it in a very long time, but now with just a couple of adaptations we can all enjoy this comfort food meal again.

Notes ♪♫ Always check prepared ingredients for hidden gluten.  In this recipe, pasta and breadcrumbs must of course be gluten free.  Less obvious but important, use rice flour for coating and thickening, make sure canned tomatoes and seasoning mixes are gluten free.  I always grate my own cheese, but if you are using a pre-grated cheese always check for additives that may contain gluten.

Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan

At the beginning of my gluten free journey, one of my first successful home cooked meals was a personal favorite of mine, Chicken Parmesan.  I am Italian so this was a big deal!  In this post, I’ll show you how with just 2 ingredient swaps I made a gluten free adaptation of this classic comfort food that tastes just like the one you remember!

Serving size, 1-2 cutlets per person

This post contains affiliate links.

Ingredients:

  • thin sliced boneless chicken breast, 6 oz. per serving
  • white rice flour
  • 1 egg + 1 tbsp. water
  • Tuscan seasoning
  • gluten free seasoned Italian breadcrumbs (I recommend Aleia’s)
  • olive oil
  • marinara sauce, jar or homemade
  • shredded cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, fontina, gruyere)
  • Italian parsley for garnish

Preparation:

To save time, I bought thin sliced chicken breast.  For thicker cuts, you will need to place the chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2″ thickness with a meat mallet.  Cut into 6 oz. serving portions.

Before you get started with the chicken, preheat the oven to 350º.  Stir together a small batch of marinara sauce.  I used a 29 oz. can of tomatoes, 3/4 cup diced onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp. brown sugar, 2 tsp. basil and 1 tsp. oregano.  You can of course just warm up some jar sauce (I won’t tell 😉 ).

Set up 3 breading trays, one with rice flour, one with the beaten egg + water, and one with gluten free breadcrumbs.  Sprinkle the rice flour and egg with seasoning.

Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large non-stick skillet.  Pat each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour.  Next, dip the floured chicken in the egg, shaking off the excess.  Finally, roll in the breadcrumbs, turning to coat both sides.

Cook the chicken 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.

Don’t crowd the chicken in the pan, if necessary, cook it in 2 batches.

The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point, it will finish in the oven.  Transfer the browned cutlets to a baking sheet.

Top each piece with a ladle (~1/4 cup) of marinara and shredded cheese.  While mozzarella is traditionally used in this recipe, you can use any cheese you prefer.  I love gruyere or fontina cheese, for their mild flavor and superior melting characteristics.

Finish in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Garnish with parsley and serve with your favorite gluten free pasta.

I made Jovial Caserecce brown rice pasta, and it was delicious!  Confession, all the while I was cooking, I had my eye on the biggest piece of chicken, and I finished every bite!

When I made this for company, no one knew it was gluten free.  Mum’s the word!

Notes ♪♫ Plain white rice flour works better than gluten free all purpose flour in this recipe.  Don’t use a flour blend that contains gum, as the breading may turn out soggy.  Also, some prepared sauces, seasoning mixes and even grated cheese may contain hidden gluten, always check the ingredient labels!

Shrimp with Broccoli and Gluten Free Tagliatelle

Who said you can’t make a healthy, delicious meal from scratch without spending hours in the kitchen? Here is a light and easy dinner that will become a family favorite.  Inspired by a restaurant meal, the original was made with tons of butter and egg noodles, but I’ve made a lighter, gluten free version that is oh so good.  Ready in less than 30 minutes, it’s perfect for busy weeknights.  Notice that I used a healthy amount of garlic?  Yes, the garlic flavor is quite prominent in this dish!  You can cut back if you wish, but I encourage you to try it.

-Dinner for two

This post contains affiliate links.

Ingredients:

  • 12 jumbo raw shrimp
  • 4 oz. gluten free noodles *see notes
  • 1 broccoli crown
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil plus more for finishing
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
  • 2 tbsp. butter, divided

Preparation:

This dish comes together in a flash, so you will want to have all your ingredients organized before you begin.  If the shrimp are frozen, thaw them under cold water, peel and devein.  Cut the broccoli into florets and mince the garlic.  Set up a pot of salted water for the pasta.

I’m using a large nonstick skillet for this recipe.  I started the dish by gently warming the garlic in 1 tbsp. olive oil over lowest heat for 5-10 minutes to mellow the flavor.  If you like, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a pop of heat!  Keep that burner on low, you don’t want the garlic to brown or burn.

Steam the broccoli for 3 minutes then run it under cold water to stop the cooking.  Drain to remove most of the liquid.  Cook the tagliatelle to 3 minutes less than package directions.

Raise the heat to medium low and add 1 tbsp. butter to the garlic.

Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir to coat.

Add the shrimp, distributing it evenly and making sure it has contact with the pan.  (Here’s where that larger skillet comes in handy).

When the bottoms are barely pink turn the shrimp over, 2-3 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  The shrimp are not completely done at this point, they will finish cooking with the noodles.

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the remaining 1 tbsp. butter.  Toss well so all the ingredients are blended and evenly coated with butter and transfer to a serving platter.

Finish with a drizzle of good olive oil.

What a beautiful plate to bring to your table.  So easy and delicious, and dare I say healthy?

Notes ♪♫ The original entrée that inspired this post was made with egg noodles.  I wasn’t able to find a gluten free version of the wide, curly egg noodles that I remembered, but we are loving the gluten free Tagliatelle from Jovial that I used in this recipe.  One of my favorite brands, they are delicious and held up well in this dish!

Chicken Thighs with Andouille Sausage

Sometimes the addition of one or two ingredients can take a simple dish from ordinary to WOW!  In this recipe, the most basic of chicken dinners gets a spicy kick from Andouille sausage.  Made with smoked pork and cajun spices, just one link of Andouille sausage is enough to flavor the cooking oil that we use to brown the chicken and veggies.

Ingredients:

  • 6 skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 link Andouille sausage
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • creole seasoning
  • 2 carrots
  • 1/2 sweet onion
  • 1 potato
  • olive oil
  • fresh chives, for garnish

Preparation:

Remove skin from chicken thighs (optional).  Place the thighs in a plastic bag with 1/4 cup cornstarch and shake to coat.  Heat an oven proof skillet over medium and add about 3 tbsp. olive oil.  Add the sausage and cook 1 minute to flavor the oil, then begin browning the chicken on all sides and sprinkle with creole seasoning.  Don’t crowd the pan.  If necessary, brown the chicken and sausage in 2 batches as I did.

Preheat the oven to 375º and mist a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray.  Transfer the browned chicken and sausage to the baking dish and place in the oven.  Reserve the fat in the skillet.

Add the carrots, onion and potato to the skillet with the reserved fat.  Stir and toss to coat then sprinkle with creole seasoning.  Place the skillet in the oven.

Bake the chicken and veggies for 1 hour at 375º.  About half way through, remove any excess liquid from the chicken and reserve it for another dish (it makes a wonderful soup stock).  To serve, arrange the chicken and veggies on a platter and garnish with fresh chives.

What a meal!  The chicken was moist and delicious with an unexpected pop of flavor from the Andouille!

Notes ♪♫ Look for sausage made with all natural ingredients, no preservatives, and no nitrites.  Today many brands carry a gluten free label.  If not, always check the ingredients and if you’re not sure, go to the manufacturer’s website and don’t hesitate to call or email them for more information.

Gluten Free Spring Onion Soup

Spring Onions have arrived at the market, and with them the promise of warm weather and sun filled days ahead.  Once a year, I will indulge and purchase a few to make my last soup of the season, before we head into summer.

Spring Onions are sold in bundles like this one with the greens attached.  You can see that the young bulbs have not yet developed their dry, papery skins.  When you get home, you might be inclined to chop off the greens and discard them.  Don’t!  They are incredibly aromatic and will add a nice, savory kick to your soup stock.

This recipe is vegetarian, but you could add meat if you like.  Beans would also be a great addition!

Ingredients:

  • 3 spring onions sliced and quartered, greens reserved
  • 4 carrots, sliced into half moons
  • 4 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp. thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. sage
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric
  • 8 oz. gluten free pasta

Preparation:

Remove the greens from the onions, wash them and place in a stock pot. Add water to cover.  You can also throw in the tops of your celery stalks if you like, they too are aromatic and will add more flavor to the base of the soup.

After a 45 minute simmer, the greens have given up all of their goodness and can be removed and discarded.

Next slice and quarter the onion bulbs and add them to the pot along with the carrots, celery and garlic.  You should have about 6 cups total veggies.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and add the sage, thyme and turmeric.  Stir in the canned tomatoes with their juices.  Simmer 1 hour.

When the soup is ready, add the uncooked gluten free pasta directly into the pot.  It will absorb liquid as it cooks and thicken the broth nicely.  Simmer 5 more minutes or until the pasta is cooked through.  A garnish of chives and it’s ready to serve.

Simple ingredients, with a vibrant burst of spring flavor.

Notes ♪♫ I used Veneziane gluten free Ditalini in this recipe.  Finding gluten free soup pasta is always a challenge, but luckily this brand is available to me locally.  If you can’t find it, don’t hesitate to improvise with larger gluten free pasta shapes like elbows or shells.  You can even use broken lasagna noodles in a pinch!

Beef Short Ribs with Polenta

This delicious slow cooked meal is perfect for Sunday afternoons in autumn!  Braised Beef Short Ribs are marinated in red wine with herbs.  Your kitchen will smell amazing as they are slowly simmered on the stove top until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.  Served over creamy Polenta, with a side of roasted green beans.

2 Servings (for heartier appetites, allow 2 ribs per serving)

This post contains affiliate links.

Ingredients:

  • 2 bone-in beef short ribs
  • 3/4 cup of red wine
  • sprigs of rosemary, thyme and chives
  • salt and black pepper
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1/2 sweet onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 2 cups gluten free stock (chicken, beef or vegetable)

Preparation:

Combine the wine and herbs in a covered baking dish with lid (mine is an antique Corningware!).  Add the short ribs and season with salt and fresh ground pepper.  Cover and marinate the short ribs for 2 hours at room temperature, turning every 30 minutes.

About 3 hours before dinner, pour the marinade into a saucepan and keep warm.  Sear the ribs in a deep skillet with 2 tbsp. olive oil.  You can also use a Dutch oven, or other heavy pan with a cover.

Remove the ribs, and add the carrots, onion, celery and garlic with 1 tbsp. more olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.  Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Take the skillet off the heat and pour in the reserved marinade.  Deglaze the pan, then add the stock, honey and ketchup.

Return the short ribs, cover and turn the heat down to the lowest setting.  You want a constant slow simmer.

After 3 hours of gentle heat, the ribs are melt in your mouth tender and pulling away from the bone.

The skillet liquid is full of rich flavor.  Strain it into a saucepan and reserve for soup stock!

I made individual serving bowls, and set each short rib over Polenta, with just a drizzle of the pan juices.  Carrots and fresh parsley add a pop of color.  Roasted green beans were served up on the side.

Notes ♪♫ I used a simmer mat in this recipe.  It’s one of those kitchen gadgets you didn’t know you needed until you have one.  It will prevent hot spots, maintain that low steady simmer, and keep your rice and delicate sauces from burning.  It is perfect for recipes like this one, where braising is done on the stove top.

Thanksgiving Turkey

The holidays are upon us and all of the accompanying activities.  The parties, the shopping, the cooking and baking!  Thanksgiving is one of the biggest food holidays of the year, and you may be feeling overwhelmed about the big day, especially if you are planning a gluten free meal that will appeal to everyone.

This year don’t stress about the menu, I’ve got you covered on the main course and all the sides.  Let’s get started with the turkey.  Once you try this method of roasting a turkey, you will never do it any other way!

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole turkey 11-12 lbs.
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp. fresh sage, rosemary and thyme
  • cheesecloth

Preparation:

Take a half stick of butter out to soften at room temperature and melt another stick of butter in a small saucepan.  Soak the cheesecloth in the melted butter until completely saturated.

Empty the sink and clear  away any utensils, etc.  Set up your roasting pan right next to the sink, and place the roasting rack in the sink.  Have a plastic trash bag ready.  Place your turkey in the sink on the roasting rack and remove the packaging.  Remove the neck and giblets and reserve them for another dish or discard.  Rinse the turkey, including the cavity, and be careful not to splash water everywhere.  Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.  Now lift the turkey, rack and all into the roasting pan.  Dispose of the packaging, giblets and paper towels in your trash bag.

Now you should have a nice clean turkey and an empty sink.  Take a few minutes to scrub the sink down and rinse it well.  If anything dripped on the counter, floor or refrigerator clean it up now.

Preheat the oven to 325º.  Mince the herbs and combine with the softened butter, then rub the butter all over the turkey.  Be sure to get under the wings.

If you are stuffing the bird, spoon the stuffing into the cavity.  Don’t overfill, if you have extra stuffing spoon it into a baking dish and bake it separately.  Secure the legs and pin down the wings.  Now remove the butter soaked cheesecloth from the saucepan and drape it over the turkey.  Add a cup of water to the roasting plan and place it in the oven.

Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter and combine it with 1/2 cup gluten free turkey stock.  Keep warm for basting.  Roast the turkey for 3 to 3-1/2 hours, basting (right over the cheesecloth) every 20 minutes.  Add more water to the roasting pan as needed, and when you run out of liquid for basting draw some from the bottom of the pan.

Remove the cheesecloth during the last 45 minutes of roasting.  Continue basting every 15 minutes.  Turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165º.

Remove the turkey from the oven and immediately scoop out the stuffing, cover and keep warm.  Tent the turkey with foil and let it rest for 30 minutes before carving.  Enjoy your appetizers and first course while the turkey rests.

And, in case you were wondering, for smaller gatherings you can use this recipe with a turkey breast.  Here’s mine from last year.

Now that you know how to roast a turkey, please check out all my Thanksgiving sides!  I’ve got you covered with gluten free dinner rolls, soup, stuffing and those yummy potatoes!

And as we go about preparing for the big meal, don’t forget that home and family are the real heart of the holidays.  God bless you all and I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.

Notes ♪♫ Turkey is a naturally gluten free food, but I still look for the gluten free label.  I avoid brands that inject the turkey with basting solution and ditto for the gravy packets, throw them away and make your own gluten free gravy.
