Happy November! It’s that time of year again! The time when you find yourself in a whirlwind of family get-togethers, parties, tailgates, hayrides, bonfires, and oh, yes, the food. Did I mention the food? Lots of food. Food that most likely doesn’t fit in with your low carb, keto way of life.

Over the years, Thanksgiving was always my “cheat day” no matter what diet I was on at the time. There’s just no way to enjoy the big holidays without stretching the rules a little, right? Wrong! Last year, I had my first Very Keto Thanksgiving, and I already have a holiday menu in the works for this year as well consisting of only the very best Keto Thanksgiving Recipes.

Below are some of my most favorite, best Keto Thanksgiving Recipes. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

This Keto Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup is a must-make for the Keto Green Bean Casserole and the Keto Broccoli Casserole mentioned above.

Even my soup-hating husband devoured it, claiming it was one of the best soups he’d ever tasted!
