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.

Low carb cornbread? Yep! Except it really isn’t made with any corn at all. Coconut flour has a surprisingly corn-like flavour when baked into muffins and skillets. If you have my book, The Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen, check out the skillet cornbread recipe on p. 118. It’s divine!
