Can I Use This as a Turkey Stuffing?

This Thanksgiving Keto recipe makes a great stand-alone dressing to serve alongside your festive feast. Alternatively, you may use this recipe as a stuffing for your Thanksgiving turkey. You could even use half the mixture to stuff the turkey and bake the other half separately as an additional side.

Can I Make This Nut-Free?

We have used ground almonds in our Keto Thanksgiving recipe to provide extra texture, fats, and flavor in place of the traditional breading ingredients. If you are on a nut-free diet, you may omit the ground almonds entirely. Alternatively, you may substitute them for extra cauliflower rice. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.

9 ounce ground pork
2 ounce diced pancetta by waitrose

Instructions

Add the ground pork, pancetta, cauliflower rice, sage, rosemary, ground almonds, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Finely chop the onion and cranberries and crush the garlic. Add all to the bowl and stir well to combine, distributing the flavorings evenly throughout.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Tip the dressing mixture into a medium ovenproof dish. Gently press the dressing down into an even layer with your hands.
Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until completely cooked through. The topping should be golden and crisp. You may pour off any excess fat before serving if you wish. Serve alongside your Keto Thanksgiving turkey.
