    One of the biggest questions after the holidays is what to do with leftover Turkey.

    Sure, it's excellent smothered in gravy, but when you have a lot left, this gets old quick.

    Enter this Keto Turkey Casserole. It is easy to make and a great way to mix up your leftovers.

    Storage

    Keep this casserole in the fridge for up to three days. You can freeze it for up to two months. I like to freeze casseroles in individual serving portions to make a quick meal easier.

    Tips and Variations

    • To make clean-up a snap, use an oven-safe skillet instead of cooking in a skillet and then transferring to a casserole dish.
    • Don't have turkey? Chicken works great here too!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I Use Ground Turkey?

    Yes. I recommend using 2 pounds of ground turkey. Season the turkey with salt and pepper and brown it in a large skillet coated with ¼ cup of avocado or olive oil.

    Is Turkey Ok on Keto?

    Yes, turkey is a great low-carb alternative and works fine for a keto diet. Since it is lower in fat than some other meats, make sure you serve it with a high-fat side to balance your macros.

    This section is a visual walkthrough for those who like to see photos of the process. Please see the recipe card below for the complete recipe with measurements.

    First, start by preheating your oven.
