Appetizer: Macadamia Nut Hummus

Welcome your Thanksgiving guests with a platter of this creamy hummus and veggies. Blending raw macadamia nuts with olive oil, tahini, and lemon results in a velvety spread that's loaded with all the flavors of the classic party dip. Each serving clocks in at 110 calories with 12 grams of fat and just 2 grams of carbs. Make this keto Thanksgiving recipe up to three days before serving and store it in the refrigerator. Before serving, drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped macadamias so guests know it contains nuts.

Entrée: Lemon-Thyme Split-Roasted Turkey

Carve this juicy keto turkey recipe tableside for the ultimate Thanksgiving presentation (use this handy carving guide for perfect results). Our homemade citrus butter rub ensures each bite is juicy and moist. We like the flavor of fresh thyme with the turkey but swap in your favorite herb. Rosemary, sage, and parsley work well. At the table, pass fresh lemon slices to cut through the richness without adding carbs.

Side Dish: Mushroom Fricassee with Fresh Herbs

You can use any mushrooms you like in this creamy keto Thanksgiving side dish. If you can find them, try a mix of creminis, shiitakes, and chanterelle mushrooms. Sautee them with butter, herbs, and heavy cream to create a rich dish. A sprinkle of fresh chives, rosemary, and parsley is a great way to amp up the flavor without adding additional carbs.

Side Dish: Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto

Five ingredients and 20 minutes are all it takes to get this keto dish to the table. A squeeze of lemon juice adds fresh flavor to the sauteed Brussels sprouts. If you're not a fan of lemon, try sprinkling the dish with grated Parmesan cheese or toasted pine nuts.

Budget Tip: You only need one slice of prosciutto for this keto Thanksgiving recipe so head to the deli counter and ask for a slice rather than buying a whole package.

Dessert: Coconut Stracciatella Ice Cream

You can still indulge in something sweet—even on the keto diet! The key is making a simple swap. Instead of honey, use your favorite sugar-free sweetener to make this homemade ice cream. The rest of the keto Thanksgiving dessert recipe calls for unsweetened coconut milk, coconut oil, and dark chocolate. To keep the recipe compliant, look for a chocolate that's made with a minimum of 70% cocoa solids.

Drink: Red Wine

A glass of dry red wine clocks in at just under 4 grams of carbs making it an ideal choice if you're looking to indulge on Thanksgiving. Choose a dry wine like Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon. Sweet or semi-sweet wines often have more sugar and carbs than drier varietals so keep that in mind as you're selecting your beverage.
