If you are looking for a keto Thanksgiving recipe everyone will eat (without making a low carb and regular version) this is it! This is a great keto dressing recipe loaded with flavor, bits of vegetables, and no guilt!
You asked for it, so here it is! And honestly.... you will probably be amazed at just how simple this homemade keto stuffing recipe is.
The holidays can be stressful enough without the need to cook duplicate dishes- one low carb, one regular. I vowed to avoid that this year and, because stuffing is everyone's favorite I started there. My keto stuffing recipe is absolutely so simple you won't miss opening a bag or box and just adding butter and water.
Is this a Keto Dressing Recipe?
The biggest difference between a dressing and a stuffing isn't just that one is often stuffed inside a bird. It really is that a dressing recipe is wetter and baked in more of a casserole style versus a fluffier and slightly drier stuffing. You can add a bit more moisture to this and make it more like a traditional dressing if desired.
Tips for Making a Keto Stuffing Recipe
The recipe uses pre-made keto bread or rolls (either store bought or homemade) so when it comes time to put together the stuffing it literally takes just minutes. I will give you the quick version and quickest version below :
Quick version- crumble the keto bread, drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 5 minutes until lightly browned. Saute chopped veggies in olive oil for a minute or two to bring out flavors. Mix together with melted butter and bake again.
Quickest Version- mix crumbled keto bread with chopped veggies and melted butter. Add to dish and bake.
The difference between the two is basically just time and flavor. Sauteing the veggies will bring out more flavor and pre baking the bread will give a bit more of that crunchy stuffing everyone loves. It really is personal preference.
The nutrition facts will vary depending on what kind of keto bread or rolls you use. I have made this with both my fathead rolls and a 1 net carb per slice bread. The nutrition label below is a VERY ROUGH ESTIMATE. It is on the high side for those who may have to use the higher carb low carb breads.
Start with your preferred low carb or keto bread. Crumble and place on a sheet pan drizzled with olive oil. Bake 5 minutes. This will dehyrdate the bread a bit more giving it a day old feel.
When you remove the bread crumbles from the oven they should be browned and on their way to giving you that yummy crunchy stuffing.
Mix sautéed veggies into melted butter, egg & chicken broth.
Combine all keto stuffing ingredients elements together now, mix well and add to your favorite baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes covered with foil and 5 minutes uncovered.
This keto stuffing recipe is perfect for any holiday or stuffing mushrooms, chicken, pork. The options are endless.

Typically high in fat, carbs and salt, stuffing can be made fresh or purchased chilled, frozen or dehydrated. Traditionally, a stuffing would use the giblets of the bird with the addition of sausage meat, a source of starch, such as bread, with some aromatics such as onion, herbs and spices.
Blue cheese is naturally low in carbs, making it the perfect food to eat on a keto diet. A serving of blue cheese, which is around 1 ounce or 28g, typically only has 0.7g net carbs. There are certain types of blue cheese which are not as keto friendly as they are made with buttermilk which is slightly higher in carbs.
Toasted gluten free bread cubes are tossed with sizzling Italian sausage, savory Parmesan cheese, buttery vegetables, and fresh herbs and garlic, then drizzled with just enough broth to create a stuffing that's creamy in the center and crispy on top after baking.
Keto bread and gluten-free bread are not the same thing. Keto bread is a type of bread that is made with low-carb ingredients and is intended for people following a ketogenic diet, which is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet. No. Generally gluten-free bread has something substituted for wheat flour.
For people with diabetes, Thanksgiving can be as scary as Halloween, but with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and stuffing providing the frights instead of ghosts and goblins. These types of foods are carbohydrates and convert to glucose in our bodies, raising our blood sugar (blood glucose).
You can eat high fat foods like cheese on the Keto diet. Cheddar, Gouda, goat cheese, and blue cheese are the best to consider. Cheese to avoid on Keto are cottage cheese and low fat and processed varieties.
Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.
Since most people following the diet are restricted to between 20 and 50 grams of net carbs per day, and the average ranch dressing is between 2 to 3 grams of net carbs per serving, it can be easily paired with a variety of healthy foods while on a ketogenic diet.
I immediately started buying it to make for family and friends, and everyone raved about it. That's not surprising, as Aldi's traditional stuffing is “the best.” The stuff(ing) inside this light blue box is a game-changer. The gluten-free bread cubes contain a mix of rice, brown rice, tapioca, and potato flours.
There are several companies that make gluten-free stuffing mixes; Aleia's, Gillian's Foods, Mom's Place Gluten-Free, Olivia's Croutons, Three Bakers, Trader Joe's, and Williams Sonoma.
Many people on the keto diet indulge in gluten-free grains like quinoa, spelt, or teff. You can also look for gluten-free products made with almond flour or coconut flour—these options are usually delicious and keto-friendly!
You can, maybe a slice or two here and there, but you ideally don't want to be eating too much of it. This is because a keto diet involves eating minimal carbs; less than 50g a day. However, a slice of bread contains around 20g of carbs, which is quite a chunk of your daily carbohydrate allocation.
Stuffing can pack a calorie, fat, and carbohydrate wallop. The main ingredients in dressing are bread and butter. Understandably, if it's your favorite side dish and you look forward to it all year, by all means, take some, but try to keep your portion in check (about 1/2 cup).
You may not be shocked to hear that sausage stuffing isn't the best choice. It's often made with fatty processed meat, butter or margarine, and refined bread or rice. It's a high-calorie food that packs a load of fat, carbs, and nitrates, which are cancer-causing.
People following a keto diet should choose salad dressings that contain a high amount of fat and a low amount of carbohydrate. A person can tell whether a salad dressing meets these criteria by reading the product label.
