Turkey Day, the Keto Way

Thanksgiving food is pretty amazing, right? All those warm flavors and hearty dishes and delicious turkey that puts you in a food coma while the rest of the family is yelling at a football team on TV.

But let’s face it, traditional Thanksgiving dishes aren’t designed with keto-eaters in mind. Roux-based gravies; bready stuffings and dressings; high-glycemic mashed potatoes; syrupy, candied yams; sweet, sugary, rich desserts… If you’re starting to worry you can’t have your keto and enjoy Thanksgiving, too, then this is the list for you. I’ve put together some of our favorite keto Thanksgiving recipes to give you a well-rounded look at a low carb, no sugar added turkey day.
