Introduction

Featuring a hearty blend of low-carb bread, fresh herbs, and classic vegetables, this side dish replicates the familiar texture and taste that makes stuffing a holiday essential. Perfect for anyone following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, this recipe is a crowd pleaser that ensures everyone at the table can indulge in comfort food—guilt free.

Why Keto Stuffing is a Game-Changer for Thanksgiving

This keto stuffing recipe stands out for its satisfying texture and spot-on flavor profile. By swapping out traditional bread for a homemade or store-bought keto-friendly loaf, you can savor the dish you crave without flouting your eating plan. The medley of herbs, buttery onions, and celery recreates the memory-laden aroma and taste of classic stuffing, making it perfect for family gatherings or Friendsgiving feasts.

The Secret to Perfect Keto Stuffing

The secret is all about the bread and moisture content. Using a sturdy keto bread ensures that every cube soaks up the buttery goodness and broth without getting soggy. A well-balanced blend of chopped celery, onion, and garlic provides just the right crunch and flavor, while a generous helping of fresh herbs like sage and thyme brings you that unmistakable Thanksgiving nostalgia. Sautéing the vegetables before baking is key to unlocking their depth of flavor.

How to Assemble Keto Stuffing for Thanksgiving

Start by toasting your keto bread cubes to help them hold up during baking. Sauté the celery, onion, and garlic in butter, then toss them with the toasted bread cubes and herbs. Once combined, everything goes into a baking dish with whisked eggs and broth to bind the mixture together—just like you remember traditional stuffing. Bake until golden brown, crisp on top, and soft in the center.

Delicious Serving Suggestions for Keto Stuffing
