Ingredients in Keto Stuffing
- Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits OR Keto Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits, torn into pieces and dried out
- Sausage
- Garlic
- Butter
- Onion
- Celery
- Spices and Herbs: Sage, Parsley, Salt, Pepper, Poultry Seasoning
- Chicken Broth
How to Make Keto Stuffing
- Prepare the Keto Red Lobster Biscuits or Keto Bacon Cheddar Biscuits about three days ahead of time. Cut the bread into chunks. The advance cooking time allows the bread to dry out and become stale, which creates the best texture for the stuffing.
- When ready to prepare the stuffing brown the breakfast sausage. When browned, drain off and grease and add the onion, celery and garlic and cook 4-5 minutes until softened.
- In a large bowl combine the bread cubes, sausage mixture, fresh herbs, eggs and broth. Stir well and transfer to a 9×13 baking dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes.
Can You Make Stuffing Ahead of Time?
The great thing about homemade stuffing is that it can be prepared well in advance. Although you can only add the liquid broth up to 3 hours ahead of time, all the ingredients can be prepped and stored for up to 48 hours in the refrigerator.
How to Reheat Keto Thanksgiving Stuffing
Before reheating stuffing it’s important to do a little prep to ensure it doesn’t dry out. Drizzle a few tablespoons of fresh broth onto the stuffing to add moisture, and a dab of butter if you fancy. Stuffing can be reheated on the stove, in the microwave or in the oven. For best results, heat the stuffing gently on the stove using a little butter.
If you’re looking to heat your stuffing up quickly, the microwave is a perfectly suitable option. Transfer the stuffing into a microwave safe bowl and add a little extra broth to avoid dryness. Heat the stuffing in 30 second increments, until warmed.
Can You Freeze Stuffing?
Uncooked stuffing is perfectly suitable for freezing and can be kept for up to three months. Simply prepare the stuffing according to the directions in a freezer and oven safe dish. Wrap tightly with foil.
When ready to bake remove from the freezer about an hour before placing in the oven and bake 60 minutes. Check the stuffing every 10 minutes after that and remove from the oven when heated through.
Tips for the Best Low Carb Stuffing
- Chop up your veggies into small, uniform chunks for a neater look and even cooking.
- Use stale bread when making stuffing to avoid sogginess – your bread should be able to cope with soaking up extra moisture from the vegetables.
- Use fresh herbs for an extra flavorsome and fragrant stuffing.
- Add a spicy sausage like chorizo to add a unique twist to your stuffing.
