I should try that this year. Gluten free broth sounds like a better alternative.

I wonder if these are the same products sold at Trader Joes. They also come in a small box, 12 to a carton. Trader Joes’ labeling states they are GF.

I had our family dinner (with our grown sons and their females) on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. My inlaws had their dinner the next day, and I took my own GF leftovers to eat.The only thing I had to worry about being contaminated was the microwave.

Linda, it’s amazing what it takes to indoctrinate even the most well-meaning folks to the GF diet. My grandfather was diagnosed a little over a year ago. You’d think if anyone would have the tools and information necessary to do Thanksgiving GF, it’d be MY family! : )
I wasn’t there, but my aunt (bless her heart) worked so hard to make delicious gluten-free stuffing for my grandfather (which he and everyone else apparently loved so much that they decided they’d only need to make my GF stuffing next year) but they still stuffed the bird with gluten stuffing! I found out about it after Thanksgiving, of course, but what can you do?! Having it at your house next year sounds like a good idea! : )

Unfortunately, our turkey was contaminated by non-gluten free stuffing by the in-laws, even though I explained the importance to them beforehand and gave them a homemade GF bread to make the stuffing and GF flour to make the gravy and asked them to please only stuff the turkey with the GF stuffing. Well, they made the GF stuffing in a separate container but stuffed the turkey with the non-GF stuffing! Also, spilled non-GF gravy on some of the cut-up turkey to be served. When it was time for dessert, I caught my mother-in-law just in the nick of time before she was about to slice into my gluten-free pie with a contaminated knife! Next year turkey dinner will be at MY house totally gluten free! Live and learn. Argh.

Well I find this exciting! I will definitely look for this product. I have been meaning to let you know about a line of products that are available to those of us in the 5 state area of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky at Meijer grocery stores. Meijer originated the concept of ‘one stop shopping’ and developed the ‘superstore’ concept used by Walmart and Target etc. today. They have now developed a Meijer Organics line and Meijer Naturals. I was as excited as you when I discovered the Meijer Naturals Beef, Chicken and Vegetable broth concentrates (in little packets similar to the Savory Choice product)because I had been living without broth for years out of fear of MSG. (This is prior to my celiac diagnosis.) They also have the 32 oz boxes Meijer Naturals Beef, Chicken, or Vegetable stock. On the broth concentrate package it says the following: “All Meijer Naturals are minimally processed products with no bioengineered ingredients (GMO’s); no high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners; no artificial additives or preservatives; and no added hydrogenated oils or trans fats.” It does not say they are all gluten free, but on the broth concentrate and stock boxes it clearly states ‘Gluten Free – no MSG.’I used both of these products when I was making my stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving…so I understand your glee completely! I am going to order some of your brand and compare. I’m fairly sure the Meijer Naturals can also be ordered, if anyone is interested.

Your stuffing recipe absolutely ROCKS!!! Made it this Thanksgiving and it was the HIT of the meal! Used homemade vegetable broth yesterday, but will look for this next time. Thanks!
