quinoa and wild rice stuffing

If you have guests who are gluten free, lactose free or vegetarian/vegan, it can be hard to plan a Thanksgiving meal. It can be easy to split a recipe into different parts, so the traditional dish is available, while an alternative version accommodates special diet needs.

Luckily, this recipe is both naturally gluten and lactose free. If you are looking for a vegetarian dish, easily swap out the bacon for vegetable broth to make this a vegetarian/vegan-friendly meal. Also, for those who are living with diabetes and conscious of what they eat this holiday, we have appropriately portioned this recipe.
