Looking for some great gluten free holiday dishes to add to your holiday table?
Spiral-cut, bourbon and brown sugar glazed ham.
I’ve gathered a few recipes that would fit seamlessly into any holiday party. Many are already naturally gluten free, and many are grain free. If you’re trying to stay on a Whole30 diet, substitute olive oil for butter in recipes that call for it. Watching your sugar intake? You’ll even find a few sugar-free options as well!

Gluten Free Appetizers and Starters
A vegetable tray is the perfect start to a holiday party. This Herbed Goat Cheese Dip can be made the day before, (in fact it’ll be even better if you let the flavors meld over-night).
This creamy dip is the perfect accompaniment to veggies or crackers.
Rosemary Almonds can also be made ahead and are Whole30 compliant as well.
Prosciutto and Truffle Cheese on Potato Rounds from Christina’s Cucina is an elegant appetizer for a holiday meal.
Old Fashioned Southern Cornbread from Grits and Pinecones would go well with ham or turkey!
Need bread to accompany your meal? These Gluten Free Bread Sticks could be made into small rolls instead.
Main Dishes
This Mediterranean Style Turkey is stuffed with herbs and lemon wedges for the moistest bird ever! Or skip the butter baste on your regular turkey recipe, and use olive oil instead.
No need to skip the bread stuffing with this Pink Peppercorn and Rosemary Stuffing from Mid-life Croissant!
Don’t forget the cranberry Sauce! This Cranberry Orange Sauce from Melanie Cooks, has no added sugar.
Roasted Cranberry Sauce from Life Currents sounds delightful!
Classic Prime Rib is rubbed with seasonings and roasted, so it’s naturally gluten free. We serve it with the pan juices, so no need to thicken up the juice for gravy! The Creamed Horseradish is the perfect accompaniment!
Bourbon and Brown Sugar Glazed Ham is the perfect alternative to turkey or beef for the holidays.
