    These dairy-free keto Thanksgiving recipes will make this year's Turkey Day unforgettable!

    Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and that means tables filled with carb-heavy foods swimming in butter. Many people look forward to this buffet of sinfully delicious delights, and maybe you do as well, but you want to stick to your goals this holiday season and treat your body right

    Guess what? You can enjoy Thanksgiving dairy-free and keto without even batting an eyelash! The recipes found here are just as tasty, if not better than the fully loaded traditional Thanksgiving recipes.

    Dairy-Free Keto Thanksgiving Appetizers

    I love to get together with my loved ones and munch before the full Thanksgiving dinner. We make a big spread of all kinds of munchies and appetizers. Some have cocktails and we just graze and chat and have a great time while the turkey is finishing in the oven. If it's early we always put the Macy's Day parade on in the background. It's a really great time!

    Bacon Deviled Eggs

    Every keto dinner table should include deviled eggs. These yummy deviled eggs from 40 Aprons contain bacon for a bit of extra pep! Omit the butter from the recipe to keep things dairy-free.

    Non-Dairy Keto Turkey Recipes

    Turkey has to happen on Thanksgiving! I don't trust people who serve some other main course, you have to have turkey. Mmm, I love turkey!
