Tips for the best keto Italian Sausage recipe

• If you don’t enjoy pork, you could easily replace it with a ground turkey or chicken. I would recommend that you generously season the meat with Italian seasoning.
• You can buy bagged kale that already has the stems removed, making this dinner even faster!
• If you want your sauce to be a bit creamier, you can always add more heavy cream. Alternatively, if you prefer a lighter sauce, you can use half and half.

What should I serve with this Italian Sausage Recipe?

The first thing that comes to mind is bread! Of this list of 30+ Keto Bread Recipes, I’ve got to say that my favorite is probably the Red Lobster Copycat Keto Rolls or the Three Cheese Biscuits. Keto Mashed Cauliflower or Air Fryer Green Beans would also be delicious with this recipe! For dessert, try these No Bake Peanut Butter Bars or Bakery Style Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies!
