Keto Cornbread Thanksgiving Dressing

There is no need to turn down any Thanksgiving Keto recipes this year, especially with this Keto Cornbread Thanksgiving Dressing. Tender Keto “cornbread” is cut into a dice and dried out in the oven before tossing in a mixture of sauteed onions, garlic, and celery to make this delicious dressing. The entire mixture is coated with an egg and bone broth mixture and tossed with herbs de Provence. The lovely combination of dried thyme, basil, rosemary, tarragon, savory, marjoram, oregano, and the bay leaf makes for a delicious stuffing!

What other herbs can I use for stuffing?

You can use fresh or dried parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme for a more traditionally flavored stuffing. However, I think you will be surprised at how easy and delicious herbs de Provence

is to use.

What other things can I add to Keto stuffing?

You can add different kinds of cured meat like sausage, bacon, or pancetta. Feel free to add nuts like sliced or slivered almonds, pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds. Caramelized onions would be excellent! All varieties of mushrooms or leeks would make it even more savory. There are many low carb options!

Why do I have to dry out the cornbread before making the stuffing?

Drying out the cornbread before adding the bone broth and egg mixture will allow the cornbread to soak in the liquid mixture. You can either bake the cornbread at 250 F for 45- 60 minutes or dry out the diced cornbread on a sheet tray overnight.
