Use the readline function glob-expand-word. On my system it's bound to
Ctrl-x-* ("\C-x*")

bind -p | grep glob

will show you how it's bound - plus a couple others. As an example, if you
type

echo *

then press the key combination, the asterisk will be replaced by a list of
all the files in the current directory.
