Our keto stuffing recipe is going to be a favorite at all of your holiday meals. It is super simple and has all the traditional flavors. 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.

Can you eat tomatoes on the keto diet? "Tomatoes are keto," says Abby Langer, R.D., author of Good Food, Bad Diet. "They're low in carbs, so they fit perfectly into keto." One whole medium tomato contains roughly 5 grams of carbohydrates, of which 1.5 grams are fiber and 3 grams are sugar.
As long as there are no added sugars, mustard is a great Keto-friendly condiment. You'll want to avoid some mustard such as honey mustard because of the added sugar. Some popular Keto-friendly mustards include yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, spicy brown mustard.
Unfortunately, Miracle Whip tends to be prepared with sugar and substances containing sugar, such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). As such, it is neither keto-friendly nor keto-approved. As an alternative, this condiment could be accepted in this eating plan as long as it is not prepared with any sugar ingredients.
If you want to lose weight while following a ketogenic diet, incorporating keto bread into your meals can be a good option. Keto bread is typically made with low-carb and high-fat ingredients, which align with the principles of the keto diet.
Keto bread is good for people with diabetes. Since it has a lower carb, higher fiber, and protein, it may help stabilize blood sugar levels. Due to keto bread's higher protein and fiber content, it has a low glycemic index, resulting in less post-meal blood sugar response.
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.
Keto fruits by definition are low in carbohydrates. You still need to exercise portion control with most keto-friendly fruits to be within the limits of a keto diet. Keto-friendly fruits include avocados, watermelon, strawberries, lemons, tomatoes, raspberries, peaches, cantaloupe, star fruit, and blackberries.
- Starchy Vegetables: Potatoes, peas, sweet potatoes, yams, corn, cassava, artichoke, etc. - Refined Carbs: Bread, pasta, pastries, tortilla, sandwich, etc. Due to the high-carb content of these food items, they are not keto-friendly.
Hot dogs are made with ingredients that are naturally low in carbs. An average hot dog is about 1.73 grams of total carbs. As for the bun, you can't have a conventional bun in order to follow the keto diet. The average hot dog bun will cost you 24.3 grams of total carbs.
These dressings could include: traditional vinaigrettes. creamy dressings, such as blue cheese, ranch, or thousand island. dressings that the manufacturers have specifically marketed as “keto” or “low carb”
Most mass-produced, commercial mayo brands include sugar and sugar alternatives which is a big no-no on the Keto diet. Any mayonnaise with added sugar or sugar alternatives (high fructose corn syrup) should be avoided.
Luckily, pickles are keto friendly, especially those that are of the dill pickle variety, as sugar is low. “Simply put, sweet pickles are made with sugar which will automatically push the carb count up,” says Hultin. “Dill or salt pickles don't have the added sugar and carbs, naturally,” she says.
Cabbage is delicious when stuffed into keto fajitas, used in soups, or made into coleslaw with a rich, creamy high-fat dressing that's keto-friendly. It has 2 grams of net carbs per cup shredded, so you can eat a lot in one sitting without falling out of ketosis, says Dixon.
Lewis Bake Shop Healthy Life Keto Bread is perfect for those who choose to live a keto lifestyle. With Healthy Life believes you can enjoy bread while still maintaining a healthy diet. Healthy Life Keto Bread contains zero grams net carbs and 30 calories per slice, but it is a popular choice because it tastes great.
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.
Unlike traditional bread, which can be high in refined carbohydrates that can lead to health problems like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, keto bread is low in carbs and high in healthy fats, which can help you lose weight, control your blood sugar levels, and improve your heart health.
