15 Keto Thanksgiving Sides That’ll Help You Eat Clean This Holiday Season

Last Updated on December 18, 2020 by Latrice

Thanksgiving already?

Yes, Thanksgiving already.

Over the last few years, I’ve set the intention to cook a keto meal, but things haven’t worked out yet.

Probably because I’m the only one that eats a ketogenic diet and although my family has made adjustments for the only vegan in our family for the last 30 years, I know preparing keto meals is something I’m going to set the tone for myself.

This year, I made the decision to put together a menu of keto-friendly Thanksgiving recipes for me to eat and others to try. My family loves my cooking so I think they won’t mind trying keto versions of the classics.

Getting started early this year and collecting ideas so created this post while collecting.

Happy Thanksgiving menu planning!
