Cranberry Walnut Quinoa Stuffing

November 19, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Everyone from bread lovers to gluten free eaters will be happy when you make this Cranberry Walnut Quinoa Stuffing as a side dish this Thanksgiving!

I am so excited to be participating in a great blog hop today where we are sharing ideas for Thanksgiving dishes. I have been experimenting with different stuffing recipes this year and am totally in love with this Cranberry Walnut Quinoa Stuffing.

A great gluten free replacement for regular stuffing! I love the idea of making a cranberry walnut quinoa stuffing for Thanskgiving!

I love using quinoa in place of traditional bread for stuffing because so many people either chose or need to be gluten free and this gives them a delicious option! The cranberries offer a fantastic bit of tanginess to the dish and the crunch from the walnuts is perfect.

For me, it combines so many of my favorite things into one delicious Thanksgiving recipe. This is one of the best quinoa recipes and is part a HUGE Thanksgiving round up filled with tons delicious recipes.
