25 Keto Thanksgiving Recipes ¶

Going keto during the holidays can be challenging, but with these 25 low-carb recipes, you can still enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving feast.

When attending a loved one's house for Thanksgiving, it's often difficult to stick to a keto diet, as many traditional dishes are high in carbs. However, with a little planning and creativity, you can bring your own keto-friendly dishes to share with the family.

Los Angeles-area dietitian Sarah Jadin, R.D., of Keto Consulting, LLC, recommends making a few keto-compliant side dishes or desserts at home to bring to the gathering. She notes that there's a substitute for everything, and with a little creativity, you can make all the traditional dishes keto-friendly.

Some general tips for making your Thanksgiving keto-friendly include swapping out mashed potatoes for mashed cauliflower, nixing adding any flour to thicken recipes like green bean casserole or creamed spinach, and loading up on the low-carb veggies like Brussels sprouts, spaghetti squash, and mushrooms.

When it comes to booze, Jadin advises going for a pure distilled spirit mixed with a splash of diet soda or tonic, or a dry wine. However, be mindful of your limits, as alcohol can affect people on a keto diet sooner and harder compared to those eating a general diet.
