There are plenty of keto Thanksgiving recipes that taste delicious and will allow you to maintain ketosis without having to forgo Thanksgiving dinner with your family.

I’m not going to pretend I’m a keto expert. I’m a healthy living fanatic who happens to like keto desserts on occasion.

As we all know, one of the biggest problems that leads to failing on a diet, is our sweet tooth – can you relate? 🙂

I’m not a fan of pumpkin pie (I know, I know) but it’s my husband’s all-time favorite dessert so it’s a must for Thanksgiving dessert at our house. However, even though I’m not a fan of pumpkin pie, I love this Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe!

4. Keto Gravy

The smell of gravy brings back so many childhood memories for me. My Nanna made the best gravy known to humankind, and I used to love smothering my entire meal with it. I don’t have the recipe for my Nanna’s gravy (and it’s definitely not keto-approved) but this Keto gravy is a great low-carb alternative.

5. Bacon & Smoked Gouda Cauliflower Mash

Traditional mashed potato definitely isn’t keto-approved, but this Bacon and Smoked Gouda Cauliflower mash is, and (dare I say) it’s even more tasty than regular mashed potato!

6. Keto Cranberry Sauce

Funny story – the day before Hurricane Florence was due to hit North Carolina, I made a final, last-minute dash to the grocery store to stock up on a few more things. I was in the canned fruit aisle and couldn’t help but laugh when I saw that every single thing was sold out except for the canned cranberry sauce… Whether you love or hate cranberry sauce, it’s definitely a Thanksgiving staple. This keto-approved cranberry sauce is sugar-free and has just 4 simple ingredients.

Green beans are another Thanksgiving staple and while it’s virtually impossible to get my 2-year-old to even try one (he does love broccoli though!) I’m quite partial to the odd green bean with my meal. These keto-approved green beans with bacon are the perfect Thanksgiving side dish.

Any recipe that includes cream cheese is going to taste amazing in my book, and this easy creamed spinach is no exception! If you like a warm, cheesy spinach, you will really enjoy this recipe.

9. Keto Sausage Balls

These keto sausage balls remind me of the mini sausage rolls my Nanna used to make, minus the pastry. Finger food is always more fun to eat for some reason, and these sausage balls are no exception.

10. Keto Chocolate Mousse Tart
