THE BEST KETO STUFFING
Keto Thanksgiving recipes don't get any better than this low carb stuffing. And I don't know about you, but stuffing is one of my favorite parts of a Thanksgiving meal.
With that said, typically stuffing is made with white/wheat bread, loaded with carbs, and is not even close to keto friendly. So, if a family member is in charge of making it, odds are you'll have to pass. But you don't have to skip out on stuffing just because you're on a keto diet, thanks to this recipe!
Why You'll Love This Recipe
Perfect for Thanksgiving. Serve it with these keto mashed potatoes and this keto gravy along with your turkey and then have this keto pumpkin pie for dessert to complete your keto Thanksgiving.
The flavor. This seriously tastes just like traditional stuffing. Even the non-keto people in my family think it is one of the best stuffings they've ever had!
It's healthy. Not only is this recipe low carb with just three net carbs per serving, but it's a gluten-free stuffing. Plus it's made with all fresh, wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients You'll Need
- Sausage of choice- this is optional but makes the stuffing even tastier.
- Mushrooms- I used portobello mushrooms.
- Celery sticks- chopped into small pieces.
- Onion- chopped into small pieces.
- Cauliflower- an underrated veggie addition.
- Butter
- Egg- one large egg, beaten.
- Garlic cloves- minced for extra flavor.
- Chicken bouillon cube
- Boiled water
- Keto bread- cut into bite-size pieces. You can use my homemade keto bread or bread from this list of best low carb bread.
- Fresh rosemary and fresh parsley- the best herbs for stuffing.
- Salt and pepper- for more flavor.
How To Make Keto Stuffing
I love to make this low carb stuffing because it is just as easy - if not easier - to make than any other homemade stuffing recipe. So, if you've made stuffing before, the process will be a breeze.
But, even if you haven't, it is super simple and really just takes some chopping and baking.
Now, gather your ingredients and anyone who wants to help cook, and let's make some stuffing keto friendly!
Step 1: Cook The Ingredients
Before starting, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).
Then slice or break the loaf of bread into any sized pieces you want, coat a pan with butter, and toast the slices of pre made keto bread in it. Once toasted, put the bread in the casserole dish that you will use for the stuffing, and set it aside. Next, add the sausage to the same pan you just toasted the bread in, fry it for a couple of minutes on each side, and put it in a bowl set aside for later.
Then, add a little olive oil to the same pan and saute the onion until it softens slightly. After that, add the garlic and chopped celery and saute those together for a few minutes. Follow that by adding the sliced mushrooms to the pan, and continue sautéing for a few minutes.
Step 2: Prep The Other Ingredients
Now blanch the cauliflower for a few minutes and then set it aside. Next, melt the chicken bouillon cube in the boiling water from the cauliflower and when it cools down a bit, add one beaten egg to it. Then, add the cooked sausage, onion, celery, mushrooms, and blanched cauliflower to the prepared baking dish with the toasted bread.
Step 3: Bake The Stuffing
Now pour the chicken broth and egg mixture into the casserole dish. Then, add the salt, pepper, and finely chopped fresh rosemary, and give everything a good stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Next, cover the dish with tin foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
Once your keto stuffing is baked, serve it at your Thanksgiving table and enjoy!
How To Store Keto Stuffing
This recipe will make about 6 servings, depending on how much everyone takes. But if you have a big family and know you'll need more, just double the recipe and split it up into two casserole dishes!
It's hard to believe that there will be any leftovers, but if you do have some, this stuffing stores really well. Either cover your casserole dish with a lid or transfer the stuffing to an airtight container. Then it will last for up to 4 days in the fridge!
You can reheat the stuffing by putting it back in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until it reaches your desired temperature.
My Final Thoughts
Keto Thanksgiving just got a whole lot better this year, thanks to this keto stuffing recipe.
It will allow you to enjoy a classic Thanksgiving meal while keeping it low carb and keto friendly! But don't just make this recipe once - it's great all year long for various occasions or just a weeknight dinner.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this keto stuffing as much as my family and I do!
If you make it, leave a comment below and let me know how it turned out. And have a happy keto Thanksgiving!
