KETO FATHEAD STUFFING
This Keto Fathead Stuffing tastes just like traditional stuffing. The dough is really easy to make and can be thrown together in a few minutes. It’s so Good… You’d Never Even Know it’s Low Carb Stuffing. I like to serve my Keto Stuffing with a side of Cauliflower Mash, Steamed Low Carb Veggies, Keto Gravy and of Course a Delicious Roast Turkey or Chicken. I like to Make my Keto Stuffing Made in a Pan, Rather then Stuffing it into the Turkey. It’s just personal preference. I prefer it to be on the drier side. This Stuffing can be stuffed in the turkey as well but will make a more for a more moist consistency.
If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
