These 4-Ingredient Keto Biscuits Will Revolutionize Your Thanksgiving Spread

Putting on an incredible Thanksgiving dinner can seem like a major challenge if you're new to the ketogenic diet — all those carb-loaded stuffings, sweet potatoes, and pies are just staring you in the face, daring you to cheat. But, alas, there are so many smart keto swaps you can make to this classic holiday spread, if you only know where to look. As any experienced keto dieter would tell you, Thanksgiving is all about that turkey, and you can gobble up as much turkey as you want (even going for the fattier dark meat). Finding the best side dishes and sweet treats to balance out your meal is a bit trickier, though.

The keto diet is all about maintaining your state of total ketosis, meaning your body is in a metabolic mode that burns through fat as its daily fuel rather than glucose found in carbs. You'll have to eliminate many Thanksgiving classics to successfully stay keto, as anything with excess sugar or carbohydrates will be off limits. You'll reach for low-carb vegetables like cauliflower and cabbage; plenty of cheesy and creamy treats; and sweet treats made with faux sugars like stevia. If you're new to keto, our master guide to the keto diet can even help you plan your entire Thanksgiving meal from scratch.

But home cooks can manipulate these ingredients to make tit-for-tat substitutes for many of their favorite Thanksgiving staples. Here, we're sharing the most ingenious recipes that reinvent Thanksgiving classics to be keto-approved — indulge a few of these decadent, fat-filled side dishes and desserts. They'll even have your non-keto friends and family swooning with delight! Take a peek at our favorite keto-approved Thanksgiving recipes.
