Wondering how to make it through the holidays without blowing your healthy keto diet? You don’t think I’d leave you hanging, do you??? Get all the best low carb and keto Thanksgiving recipes here for a happy and indulgent celebration! Low carb, sugar free recipes – everything from appetizers to stuffing to dessert!

Best Keto Thanksgiving Recipes

How to have a Low Carb Thanksgiving

Are you still wondering what to cook for Thanksgiving this year? Or at least, what to cook that will fit your ketogenic diet and yet still be delicious enough to satisfy? Never fear, I’ve got you covered. I searched high and low for the best keto and low carb Thanksgiving recipes the internet has to offer. I worked on this list for a long time, trying to find you the classics made low carb, gluten free, and sugar free.

Here’s the deal. I figure you know how to make turkey low carb. Slap some butter on that bird, sprinkle it with herbs, and toss it in the oven. If you’re desperate for gravy, collect the pan juices, reduce them in a pan and add your thickener of choice – I like xanthan gum or glucomannan. Just a 1/2 teaspoon will do, and whisk it in quickly to keep it from gumming up.

If you’re still uncertain, check out this primer on low carb gravy by Laura Dolson. Or go hog wild and make  this BACON GRAVY from Fluffy Chix Cook to go with your turkey (bacon and turkey? A match made in heaven!).

But it’s all the other Thanksgiving recipes that get tricky on a keto diet. Apps and sides and dessert, that’s where you might find yourself floundering. But you don’t have to suffer without all of your favourites, believe me. There are delicious keto recipes to replace all your old standards. From low carb stuffing to sugar free pumpkin pie, there are recipes here to make your holidays perfect.

    This is just what I was looking for. I’m on the loaded gun diet and I eat everything just less then I’d want to. But Thanksgiving is coming and I’m already having panic attacks.

    GREAT recipes! Hoping you can give me advice for my fave scalloped oysters. Know the oysters, heavy cream and butter are great for my keto plan. BUT — what’s the best substitute for 3 cups of bread crumbs? Don’t need the crunch of pork rinds. Should I just make low-carb bread recipe then dry it and crumble? Other thoughts from anyone?

    Reply
    • Carolyn says

      November 9, 2014 at 6:15 am

      I think you’ve already nailed it. You could use a couple of possible recipes for the bread crumbs. This one would be good: https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2011/12/almond-flour-bread-and-french-toast-low-carb-and-gluten-free.html

    Thanks for putting this list together, Carolyn! Lots of work in this. 🙂 I noticed that you don’t have any recipes from Gourmet Girl Cooks http://www.gourmetgirlcooks.com/ I would recommend her highly. I really enjoy several of her recipes – and my boyfriend LOVES her “Easy biscuit” recipe (which I modified to make short bread out of for strawberry shortbread). I personally love her Zucchini bread!
    I haven’t tried these yet, but she also has a recipe for Grain-free Shuffing Bread Cubes http://www.gourmetgirlcooks.com/2013/11/grain-free-stuffing-bread-cubes-use-in.html

    I think you should include your pumpkin tiramisu on the dessert list! I was thinking about inventing my own pumpkin tiramisu recipe, but decided to do a search first and your recipe popped up. Since it was your recipe I knew it would be good. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work!

    Thank you so much. I am new to Keto for health reasons, and have only been doing it for two weeks. I needed some Thanksgiving recipes to add to the table. I made the sausage stuffing with the cheese bread, the green beans and mushroom sauce, the mashed cauliflower, and the pumpkin cream pie. The cauliflower and the pie were more popular than the unhealthier versions that were also on the table! It was also nice to have leftovers today that fit into my new eating habits 😉

    We have nut allergies so I was wondering if quinoa flour could substitute for almond and coconut flours

      I have never used quinoa flour, I honestly don’t know. Sorry.

    If I wanted to use pre-packaged coconut flour or keto bread, how much do we use in place of your skillet bread? Number or slices or ounces?

      Good question. I’d think you’d want the whole loaf.
