i am trying to make our sausage stuffing for thanksgiving gluten-free so my cousin can partake, but i can't figure out what to do about the sausage aspect. every pre-made veggie sausage seems to have wheat in it, & every recipe i've found calls for vital wheat gluten. surely you all must have some solution to the sausage problem!

yes, we do! I've never found a gluten-free vegan sausage. I have seen some recipes but it is quite a lot of work. The only veggie dogs that are GF that I know of are tofu pups. They have the texture and meaty/smokiness aspect at least. sorry can't be more help.

I have never followed the instructions, but the pictures on this page for GF 'seitan' look promising if turdy.

I just throw fennel seeds in things when I want them to taste like sausage. Maybe maple syrup,if you're going for sweet sausage. The texture isn't there, but the sausage flavor is.

the tempeh sausage crumbles from vwav seem like they might be a good option for stuffing since you'd be crumbling them up anyway

sounds perfect, thanks! & i'll be sure not to skip out on the fennel!

Here's my favorite sausage recipe but I don't think it would work in the stuffing you mentioned.

I am going to try and make these tomorrow, though I don't have brown rice flour, going to attempt them with Bob's gf all purpose to see how it will turn out.

This is the one I've been using for years http://www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/archives/black-bean-sausage-recipe/ It looks like the only difference is that this makes twice as much and uses less oil. I've found it just a little dry, so I add enough water to keep it from being crumbly. Doing that, it's delicious!

I love to slice and bake tubed polenta, and put one of those patties and some yellow mustard between two slices. Breakfast sliders!

Just this week I had some leftover red quinoa and used those same spices with the quinoa held together by millet flour, water and ground flax seed. Pan fried it in a lightly oiled skillet. Looked even more like sausage than the black bean sausage. It didn't taste quite as good plain, but once I put some mustard on it, I couldn't tell the difference.

A friend of mine made this for a potluck, they were pretty good: http://goatinacoat.blogspot.com/2010/02 ... -fest.html
