Introduction to Keto and Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is that time of year when we gather with family, gobble up delicious food, and perhaps unbutton our pants just a notch or two—except when you’re on a keto diet, that is! If you’re like me, a holiday where the centerpiece is a giant turkey and a banquet of sides and desserts can feel a bit overwhelming when trying to stick to your low-carb lifestyle. But worry not! I’ve rounded up over 20 fantastic keto recipes that are not only low in carbs but will also leave your guests swooning with delight. Whether you’re the designated chef or simply bringing a dish to share, these options will have you covered from appetizers to desserts. Let’s dig in!

1. Appetizers:
First up, we have the starters—the little things that whet the appetite and set the mood for the feast to come. You can kick off the festivities with Creamy Pumpkin Soup with Bacon that warms the soul, or impress your relatives with a Pumpkin-Shaped Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Ball—it’s like a party for your taste buds! For something a bit quirky, how about trying Keto Pumpkin Deviled Eggs? You’ll feel like a culinary genius! And if cheese is your love language, the Keto Oven Baked Brie is bound to melt hearts (and cheese) alike.

2. Sides:
Ah, the sides—the unsung heroes of Thanksgiving dinners. This year, I’m replacing traditional stuffing with Keto Stuffing made from low-carb bread crumbs which holds all those comforting flavors without the guilt. Don’t forget about Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes, the perfect keto substitute that’s creamy and oh-so-satisfying. And for those of us who can’t say no to gravy, fear not! We’ve got both Keto Gravy and an equally tasty Vegan Mushroom Gravy. To give your plate a splash of color and nutrition, whip up some Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus—an elegant (and easy) addition that always gets rave reviews!

3. Main Course:
Of course, the star of the show is the turkey! Why not make it a breeze with an Easy No-Fuss Thanksgiving Turkey infused with herb butter that makes every bite a celebration? If you’re hosting a smaller gathering, savor the crispiness of an Air Fryer Turkey Breast—because who says you can’t have your turkey and eat it too, albeit in a smaller portion?

4. Desserts:
Now, let’s talk desserts! Because what good is Thanksgiving without a sweet finish? Indulge your cravings with a Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake that’s rich and creamy, or for the nut lovers, Keto Pecan Pie Bars that satisfy without the sugar crash. And if you’ve got zucchini lying around, turn it into a Mock Apple Crisp that will leave everyone wondering what’s in it (I promise, no one will be the wiser!). Finally, for something super simple, whip up 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies—the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.
Incorporating these recipes into your Thanksgiving will allow you to celebrate the holiday without compromising on your keto goals. So, put on your apron, gather your ingredients, and let’s make this Thanksgiving unforgettable with a beautiful spread that everyone can enjoy. Who knew staying keto could be so much fun? Happy cooking!
