Staring down a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers, turkey leg in hand — I am forced to conclude that I am not, in fact, looking forward to the idea of eating my body weight in mashed potatoes. I know what you’re thinking, that practically amounts to sacrilege. Next you’ll be extolling the virtues of tofurkey or shilling weight loss teas like one of those dispiritingly slender Instagram models. While I’d happily part with my pocket-fork to look like Bella Hadid, I’m not prepared to forsake enjoying food in favor of gimmicky diets and green juices. But I do advocate for thinking before you eat; if only so you can better enjoy every mouthful. Here are our favorite Keto thanksgiving recipes. And they’re all delicious — because eating well shouldn’t make you bloody miserable. Of course, we are just sharing the good news here. Check your measurements, servings and your own limitations before diving in.
