Thanksgiving is just around the corner and if you’re new to following a Keto lifestyle, you might be worrying about how to incorporate all of your favorites into the dinner, without kicking yourself out of ketosis. Here’s a very simple copycat Stove Top stuffing – Keto Style!
How to Make Copycat Stove top Stuffing – Keto Style!
First and foremost, this recipe calls for 2 cups of dried cubed keto bread. Therefore, this is considered a “dirty” keto recipe. While you can potentially use any keto bread, I’ve found this recipe works the best and offers the closest flavor to traditional yeast bread. However, Aldi keto bread would also work fine.
Simply cut a few slices of bread (stacked up on top of each other) into strips.
Then, cut them once again, forming small cubes.
Finally, bake them on low until they’re dried out to achieve dried bread cubes.
The bread and seasonings can be stored together in a mason jar until needed. Keep in mind they won’t last like commercially prepared stuffing mixes because they don’t contain a bunch of preservatives.

This one worked well for me, I used a zero carb bread and the flavor was good, but the bread brand I used turned a bit gummy. I’ll overtoast the bread next time to really dry it out better.
I’ve made this the last 3 years but my recipe includes browned breakfast sausage and it’s a HUGE MASSIVE HIT with my family: After I sautee onion/celery I simply put it all together in my crockpot and it’s just PERFECT! I toast the bread in my Black & Decker toaster/air fryer. THIS IS A TOP 10 RECIPE for sure!!!
I was this close to skipping stuffing for Thanksgiving but this saved me. Tastes like the real thing but doesn’t knock me out for three hours after dinner. Next time I might add sage sausage to bulk it up!
