    Looking for low carb Thanksgiving recipes? I've got you covered with 20+ Keto Thanksgiving recipes, from appetizers to entrees, plus sides, desserts, and cocktails.

    20+ Keto Thanksgiving Recipes | Kyndra Holley

    If you're looking for Keto Thanksgiving recipes, you've hit the jackpot. I'm sharing all of the traditional favorites, with a keto twist, from keto appetizers to entrees, low carb side dishes, and sugar free desserts, I've got everything you need to host a low carb Thanksgiving that everyone will gobble up.

     

    Keto Thanksgiving Appetizer Recipes

    Nothing sets the tone of a Thanksgiving feast like the perfect appetizer. For this Keto Thanksgiving collection, I wanted to feature two dishes that are super festive and totally delicious. Let's get to it!

    Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce
    get the recipe here

    As far as low carb holiday recipes go, this is a must: melty, creamy brie, topped with tangy and slightly sweet sugar free cranberry sauce and pecans, garnished with fresh herbs. It’s so delicious and so festive, whether you’re looking for keto Christmas recipes, keto Thanksgiving recipes, or just a low carb appetizer to make at your next get together. 

    I can see this being the perfect centerpiece to a holiday keto charcuterie board, served alongside some keto crackers, prosciutto, and pickled red onions.

    Keto Sausage Balls with barbecue and ranch dipping sauces

    Keto Sausage Balls
    get the recipe here

    I can’t think of a more traditional appetizer recipe than sausage balls. They have grazed countless holiday tables for decades. These keto sausage balls are the perfect low carb rendition of a high carb classic. In this recipe I used almond flour in place of the traditional Bisquick used in the sausage ball recipes of old. It makes the perfect substitution, while keeping the perfectly dense, juicy texture.

     

    Keto Thanksgiving Entree Recipes

    Everyone knows that Thanksgiving is all about the turkey. An herby, buttery, perfectly roasted turkey is the Thanksgiving gift that keeps on giving. Want to switch things up a bit? There's also a sugar free glazed ham and a buttery roast chicken, so everyone can have a little bit of what they love (and seconds, and leftovers).

    Herbed Butter Roasted Turkey | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Herbed Butter Roasted Turkey
    get the recipe

    Herbed butter made with thyme, sage, garlic powder, dried onion, salt, and pepper, slathered on a turkey and under the skin. The butter melts into the meat as the turkey cooks and the result is a rich, buttery flavor highlighted by herbs, with a tender juiciness throughout the bird and a beautiful brown skin on the outside. The juices are used to make a pan gravy, perfect for topping cauliflower mashed potatoes and any other keto Thanksgiving recipes you make this year.

    Keto Glazed Ham | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Sugar Free Keto Glazed Ham
    get the recipe here

    A sugar glaze doesn’t exactly sound keto friendly, but when you make it with brown sugar erythritol or golden monk fruit sweetener and just a little bit of molasses, it’s completely possible (and totally delicious).

    Herbed Butter Roasted Chicken | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Herbed Butter Roasted Chicken
    get the recipe here

    This herbed butter roasted chicken is the juiciest chicken you will ever sink your teeth into. Packing the butter and seasoning between the breasts and the skin locks in the flavor and keeps the chicken moist all throughout the cooking.

     

    Keto Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes

    For me, Thanksgiving is about the SIDES. Buttery, cheesy, mashed "potatoes," green bean casserole, white cheddar sausage biscuits, cranberry "rice" pilaf, loaded baked cauliflower casserole, chive horseradish keto cauliflower mash (yes, THREE "potato" options!), roasted butternut squash with sage, and of course homemade sugar free cranberry sauce. Think of all the flavor combinations and colors you could fit on one plate!

    Keto Herbed Goat Cheese Cauliflower Mash

    Herbed Goat Cheese Cauliflower Mash
    get the recipe here

    It is really hard to make a pile of mash look pretty, but trust me when I tell you that this is seriously delicious. This recipe doesn’t need a low carb gravy or any other kind of sauce -- it's amazing straight out of the bowl. This keto herbed goat cheese cauliflower mash is one of my very favorite low carb side recipes. It pairs well with just about anything, but two of my favorite dishes to pair it with are my Keto Dijon Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops or my Pan Seared Chicken with Balsamic Cream Sauce, Mushrooms and Onions.

    Low Carb Green Bean Casserole | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Low Carb Green Bean Casserole
    get the recipe here

    The days of making a green bean casserole entirely out of canned and packaged ingredients are long over. Once you try this low carb green bean casserole recipe, I promise you won’t be buying canned cream of mushroom soup anytime soon. This is a great holiday classic but also a delicious year-round side dish.

    Keto White Cheddar Sausage Breakfast Biscuits | Peace Love and Low Carb

    White Sausage and Cheddar Biscuits
    get the recipe here

    White Cheddar, Sausage Breakfast Biscuits – low carb, gluten free, and kid and husband approved. Sound too good to be true? Oh, it’s the truth my friend. They taste just like the real deal.

    Cranberry Pecan Cauliflower Rice Low Carb Stuffing | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Cranberry Pecan Cauliflower Rice Stuffing
    get the recipe here

    One of the hardest traditional Thanksgiving recipes to recreate is a low carb stuffing recipe. While this isn’t traditional in the sense that it is made with bread, it still has all of those wonderful flavors of a perfectly prepared Thanksgiving spread. When it comes to the the holiday table, the turkey is always the star of the show, carefully plated on decorative platters and set in the center of the table. But for me, it is the side dishes that get piled high on my plate. This Cranberry Pecan Cauliflower Rice Low Carb Stuffing has quickly become one of our favorite Thanksgiving side dishes.

    Low Carb Loaded Baked Cauliflower Casserole | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Loaded Baked Cauliflower Casserole
    get the recipe here

    This Low Carb Loaded Cauliflower Casserole is the perfect low carb side dish recipe to pair with just about any type of protein. It is even good all on its own. If you are missing a loaded baked potato or even twice baked potatoes, then this Low Carb Loaded Cauliflower Casserole is the dish for you!

    Roasted Butternut Squash with Sage | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Roasted Butternut Squash with Sage
    get the recipe here

    A perfectly seasoned, buttery, delicious, paleo squash recipe. While foods that are lower in carbs are beneficial in maintaining ketosis, you can work some higher carb foods into a keto diet, especially when they’re grain free, sugar free, and sourced from real food ingredients. This recipe is a great way to enjoy seasonal veggies, and it looks beautiful on a Thanksgiving table.

    Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce
    get the recipe here

    If you’re planning out all of your low carb Thanksgiving side dishes, but you can’t think of a keto swap for the traditional canned shaped cranberry sauce, I’ve got great news for you. Not only is this homemade cranberry sauce a sugar free version of the old favorite, but it’s way more flavorful, bursting with festive holiday colors, and the perfect addition to your keto holiday meal planning.

    Chive Horseradish Keto Cauliflower Mash | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Chive Horseradish Keto Cauliflower Mash
    get the recipe here

    This Chive Horseradish Keto Cauliflower mash is one of my all-time favorite low carb side dishes. Even after living a low carb lifestyle for so long, I still miss potatoes almost daily ... especially around the holidays. Mashed potatoes are hard to replicate because they are just so perfect as they are, but I feel like this recipe does a pretty good job of curbing even the strongest potato craving. Plus it's got a killer kick from the horseradish. You just have to try it to understand.

     

    Keto Dessert Recipes

    There's always room for dessert, and with these keto Thanksgiving dessert recipes, you can end on a high note and completely avoid the sugar crash. We've got the traditional keto Thanksgiving pies (pumpkin AND pecan), plus some of my favorite ways to incorporate the most memorable flavors of the season.

    Keto Pecan Pie

    If you’re searching for the perfect keto pie recipe to bring to the low carb holiday party, this is it. A gluten free pie crust, filled to the brim with buttery, vanilla-y, salty yet maple-y sweet spiced pecan filling with the perfect amount of gooey crunch. It’s just like the real thing, only better because there’s no sugar crash. Make this for your keto Thanksgiving spread, your keto Christmas party, or your keto second Tuesday of the month gathering. This is one of those recipes that everyone will rave about.

    Keto Pumpkin Pie | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Keto Pumpkin Pie
    get the recipe here

    This keto pumpkin pie starts with a buttery almond flour crust. The filling is creamy, perfectly pumpkin spiced, and lightly sweetened for the best end to an amazing keto Thanksgiving feast. This recipe is proof that gluten and sugar free desserts don’t have to be boring. There’s even a dairy free option, so everyone on your guest list can give thanks and enjoy. The best part? You don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to gobble it down.

    Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse
    get the recipe here

    This low carb pumpkin cheesecake mousse recipe has all the flavors of a low carb pumpkin pie, but with a deliciously creamy, whipped texture. It is sure to become a fall favorite. I like to top mine with a little fresh low carb whipped cream. To make the low carb whipped cream, I just whipped heavy cream, vanilla extract and natural low carb sweetener together until stiff peaks formed. Then put it into a pastry bag and you are good to go.

    Keto Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting
    get the recipe here

    If pumpkin spice latte season is your favorite time of year, then Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting are going to be your go-to fall recipe for sugar free cupcakes. Lightly sweetened, perfectly pumpkin spiced, fluffy gluten free cupcakes, topped with a keto marshmallow frosting. It’s what keto pumpkin recipe dreams are made of.

    Pumpkin Spice Keto Creme Brulee | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Pumpkin Spice Keto Creme Brûlée
    get the recipe here

    This Pumpkin Spice Keto Creme Brulee upgrades the goodness of a PSL to a lusciously creamy, super satisfying, low carb creme brulee. If you’re looking forward to whipping up a couple pumpkin spice recipes, I highly recommend making your own pumpkin pie spice. The store bought stuff just can’t compare to fresh ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon.

     

    Keto Thanksgiving Cocktail Recipes

    Of course, you'll need a few beverages for extra cheer. Whether your guests prefer merry and bright pops of fresh cranberry, or something a bit more indulgent like a Keto Irish Cream or sugar free buttered rum, there's a mug of holiday cheer for all.

    Keto Hot Buttered Rum | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Keto Hot Buttered Rum
    get the recipe here

    If you have ever had a hot buttered rum, then you know that the batter contains A LOT of sugar. In an attempt to keep the holidays merry and bright without diving face first into a glass of sugar, I decided it was high time that I make my own low carb hot buttered rum batter to enjoy each holiday season with my family. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we have. 

    Keto Irish Cream | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Keto Irish Cream
    get the recipe here

    While Bailey’s might not be keto, this recipe for a Keto Irish Cream sure is. Intense mocha flavor, keto friendly sweetness, and a healthy serving of whiskey all come together in this version of a low carb Bailey’s that creamy and delicious. Because this recipe for homemade Irish cream is sugar free, you won’t crash after you enjoy a glass or two. Sláinte!

    Keto Tart Cranberry Cooler | Peace Love and Low Carb

    Tart Cranberry Cooler
    get the recipe here

    This Keto Tart Cranberry Cooler is crisp and refreshing, made with simple seasonal ingredients. If you are not a fan of gin, it is also great with vodka or rum. If you you prefer a sweeter drink, simply add a little more erythritol.
