Keto Thanksgiving Recipes
Looking for Keto or Gluten Free Thanksgiving recipes to plan out meals for that special day? How about Keto Thanksgiving Stuffing or low carb / Keto side dishes?
In this article, you will find everything you need for a healthy Thanksgiving menu including:
- Keto Thanksgiving Stuffing or Dressing
- Keto Thanksgiving Desserts
- Keto Thanksgiving Sides
- Keto Thanksgiving Chicken Recipes
- Keto Thanksgiving Appetizers and Drinks
All the above are also gluten free, sugar free and low carb. They're also perfect for a diabetic diet.
Following a special diet can be extremely difficult during the holidays – but it doesn't have to be. You can still eat delicious food and enjoy time with family and friends. (Isn't that the main point anyway??)
These recipes are delicious, clean and healthy alternatives to some of the more traditional options.
Many of us gain 5 -10 pounds between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day, don't let this be you, not this year!
I did the research for you and found the best recipes and have them grouped together below to make it easy to find the one you need.
When it comes to special days like Thanksgiving, I eat a few more carbs than normal, but I don't go crazy and all out cheat. Cheating is not worth it when you feel horrible the next day and have to start over on carb withdrawals.
Keto is like marriage – it doesn't work well when you cheat.
Get your mindset in place before the special day. Talk to yourself and remind yourself that you can enjoy delicious healthy low carb food and eating all those carbs is not worth the pain, weight gain, and guilt you'll feel the next day.
NOTE: There are some recipes below that contain a little more carbs than I normally eat like cranberries or butternut squash, but I would take a little of each. (1 cup of fresh cranberries = 7.6 net carbs, Butternut squash has 8 net carbs in 3/4 cup)
Plan your meal so you have some low carb options paired up with the ones with a few more carbs.

As always on a Keto lifestyle, make sure you calculate the macros by reading ingredients and nutritional labels. You can learn more about how to read labels here.
If a recipe below calls for a gluten free flour, substitute with the almond flour to make it Keto friendly.

Keto Thanksgiving Breakfast
You may want to fast for breakfast since you are about to have a big meal, but if you have company you may want to enjoy a nice breakfast with them.
If I am fasting, I start the day off with these electrolytes to give me the minerals I need to keep from getting dizzy and a headache.
Sausage Sandwiches – cook 2 pieces of sausage and put a piece of cheese and fried egg in the middle.
Cereal is always easy and this is my favorite Keto and gluten free cereal. Serve with almond or coconut milk and some blueberries.

I am thinking more and more of keto lately, especially since there are more keto-based recipes available. Thank you for posting this great list of ingredients. The key to getting started for me should be replacing my current shopping list with these, and hopefully from here, everything would just run normally. Deviled eggs remain my favourite! And the sweets, of course:))
So glad you are trying Keto and found this helpful. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
