Each Thanksgiving, my family has a huge family meal. One-third of our family is gluten free, so my goal is to make food so good everyone can enjoy it. This is why I am so excited about my new stuffing recipe! It is made with New York Bakery’s new Gluten Free Texas Toast!!
This is a big deal for us. We lived in Texas for years; in fact, both of our kids were born there. We loved eating Texas toast back then, well before we discovered we had to eliminate gluten from our diets. If you have had Texas toast, you just know…big, thick slices of bread toasted with butter and garlic. There isn’t anything like it. We haven’t had this treasured comfort food in over 13 years! With New York Bakery’s new gluten free Texas toast, we can enjoy it once again!!
If you love crispy garlic toast, this is the stuffing recipe you need to make for your holiday celebration!! It is easy to make with wholesome, simple ingredients and will be the star of your dinner plate! The garlic flavor in this Texas toast stuffing will work with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, and any other sides you want to serve!

Ingredient Notes:
For the full list of ingredients and amounts, please go to the recipe card below.
- New York Bakery Gluten Free Texas Toast – This recipe calls for two boxes of Texas toast. This is the main ingredient and is what makes this stuffing so good. As of this Fall, New York Bakery Gluten Free Texas Toast is available at major grocery stores, including Publix, Walmart, and Kroger Brands, followed by Albertsons in 2025.
- Sausage – I used mild chicken Italian sausage. There are many brands that sell gluten-free sausage, but I recommend always reading the label and checking for both gluten and hidden gluten ingredients.
- Onions – I prefer to use sweet yellow onion in this recipe.
- Mushrooms – You can use button or cremini mushrooms. I have also enjoyed shiitake mushrooms.
- Celery
- Chicken Broth – Use low-sodium chicken broth.
- Fresh Sage, Salt, and Pepper
Step-By-Step Photos and Directions:
Step 1: The Texas toast can be prepped in the oven or your air fryer. Cook in the method you prefer. I air-fried mine to get it a little extra crisp for this stuffing recipe.
Step 2: I cooked the toast for 8 minutes at 400º F, then turned it over to brown the other side for 2 minutes. You can also bake the Texas toast in the oven at 425º F for 9-11 minutes.
Step 3: Wash the mushrooms and set them aside. Place a yellow onion on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to dice the onion into small pieces. Set the onions aside and chop the celery. Slice the mushrooms and set them aside. Thinly slice the sausage and set aside.
Step 4: In a skillet, add cooking oil and let it warm on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the diced onion and saute until the onion and celery soften. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the cooked onion and celery from the skillet and put them into a bowl.
