Sausage and Oyster Keto Stuffing – Low Carb Recipe

If you're looking for a great keto stuffing recipe for your Thanksgiving festivities, you've come to the right place!

Keto Stuffing

Keto Stuffing

You may be wondering how the heck you make keto stuffing when the main ingredient in traditional turkey stuffing is bread. You're definitely right to wonder, but it's really not hard at all.

Years ago finding keto bread was more difficult, and you might have to make your own. Now, there is plenty of keto bread on the market.

Keto breads are easy to find in your local grocery store or Whole Foods and are perfect for making this keto stuffing recipe. While every brand may not be the cleanest, it is Thanksgiving and you may choose to have it anyway.

Many keto breads still have wheat and/or gluten, so if you're very sensitive to these ingredients you may need to avoid them. However, there are many gluten free, low carb breads as well, usually made of almond flour.

Sausage in Stuffing

I grew up in Louisiana, so sausage in stuffing is not really an option, it's a requirement! It adds so much delicious flavor that compliments turkey very well and it has zero carb which is perfect for keto stuffing .

This recipe also has smoked oysters. Since this is an ingredient not everyone loves (my family included) there are two ways you can handle the oysters. If everyone likes them, simply mix them into the recipe in step six. For more flexibility, leave them on the side to be mixed in after serving for those who like them.
