Thanksgiving dinner recipe

Although Thanksgiving is celebrated on different dates depending on the country you are in, traditionally it's a time for family to enjoy a Thanksgiving Dinner with turkey and all the trimmings. But what about a wheat free or gluten free Thanksgiving?

You do not have to miss out because you have a wheat allergy, intolerance or celiac disease. It's possible to reproduce a traditional Thanksgiving lunch or dinner in a wheat/gluten free version. Nobody needs to miss out, and nobody will know the difference (if you don't tell them).
