8 Thanksgiving Keto Recipes That Will Make Sticking to Your Diet a Breeze

By Jaclyn Anglis Updated: November 19, 2018

Keto Thanksgiving recipes are a blessing for anyone following the ketogenic diet this holiday season. If you’re currently on the keto diet, you know quite well how low-carb and high-fat this eating plan is. While keto foods can certainly be very healthy, they don’t seem compatible with many traditional Thanksgiving dishes, such as bready stuffing and heavy pumpkin pie. But don’t worry, you won’t have to be stuck loading your plate with just turkey and ham this year. SlimFast has recently introduced some keto-friendly recipes for Thanksgiving — and they’re nothing short of scrumptious.
