    Want to enjoy all your favorites during the holidays but stick to your low carb or keto diet?

    You can with this delicious Keto Stuffing.

    With sausage, low carb veggies, and keto bread, you can enjoy all of your favorite flavors with zero guilt. This recipe is one the whole family will love.

    Ingredients for Low Carb Stuffing

    Keto Bread: You can use any keto-friendly bread here. (Or make your own.) I don't do gluten, so zero carb bread doesn't work for me. If it works for you, there will be fewer carbs. Because of the bread factor, keep in mind that nutritional information is estimated.

    Oil - Any keto-friendly oil works here.

    Garlic - I prefer freshly minced, but frozen or jarred is a great time saver.

    Salt and Pepper - I use pink Himalayan sea salt and fresh ground tri-colored pepper.

    Butter: Unsalted allows you to adjust the level of salt more precisely. If you use salted butter, make sure you consider that when salting.

    Sausage: If you aren't serving this to children, hot sausage adds a nice kick here. Either pork or turkey works fine.

    Onion - I like yellow onion, but white would work here too.

    Celery: If you are low carb and not keto, you could also use carrots.

    Fresh Herbs: You can use whatever blend of herbs that you like here. 

    Eggs - I used large eggs. This recipe isn't too fussy, so extra large would work also.

    Broth - I like to make homemade bone broth in my Instant Pot. It adds so much flavor!

    Making Ahead

    The bread can be toasted up to three days ahead of time and kept in an airtight bag at room temperature.

    The casserole can be put together up to one day ahead of time and kept covered in the refrigerator.

    Serving Suggestions

    • If you are having a smaller holiday celebration this year, this Keto Roasted Chicken makes the perfect main course to go along with stuffing.
    • Veggie sides don't get any better than Roasted Green Bean with Parmesan.
