How to make the perfect keto Thanksgiving menu:
You can easily come up with a well-rounded Thanksgiving menu full of low-carb recipes! You’ll want a great meat (like that smoked turkey linked above), then several easy, keto-friendly sides. We like to make sure there’s a bread recipe (if you’re not big on rolls, try these Three-Cheese Basil Keto Biscuits). Next, you definitely want your classics–Sausage Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce!
Green Bean Almondine is our favorite green side for all holidays… That crunch and tasty sauce can’t be beat! You could easily stop there, but feel free to add creamy mashed cauliflower or a cheesy cauliflower casserole… We’ve got a few of those below! Don’t forget to add one of the easy roast vegetables linked below to add more variety and add great nutritional value without adding a ton of carbs!
