This is my keto interpretation of my family’s cornbread dressing. I watched my mom make it so manty times. Make sure you write down your family’s recipes before anything happens to your family members, you won’t regret it. I did have my mother tell me this recipe before she passed away and I’m very grateful to have it. Such amazing memories of watching her and she would always have me taste it to see if it needed any more seasoning. I wish with all my heart she was here this Thanksgiving to make it. This is my keto interpretation of her amazing cornbread recipe. It has been in my family for over a hundred years. I think this keto version turned out remarkably similar.


Here’s the ketofied version♥️




I start out sautéing chopped onion and about two large stalks of celery finely chopped, plus two finely chopped jalapeños (optional) in a stick of butter.






Next, I make a pan of cornbread. I get a low-carb cornbread mix on Amazon that is so delicious and tastes just like carby cornbread, so I don’t take any chances making my own. (See link below) Some toasted low-carb bread is also be used.



After I mix the cornbread and bake it, I let it cool and then crumble it and the toasted keto bread into a mixing bowl. I add the onion, celery, and jalapeño mixture to the bread. Then I pour turkey drippings (or chicken stock instead). Start with about a cup of stock. You can always add more if it’s too dry. You want it moist (like cake batter) but not soupy.




I then add the poultry seasoning, seasoning salt, and pepper to taste. Bake covered at about 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the cover or foil for the last ten minutes so it can brown on top.


All my keto casseroles all lined up in a row. That’s my pan of cornbread dressing second from the left.




This is the amazing Good Dees cornbread mix. It is a little pricey, but trust me it’s worth it. I really think it could fool a non keto dieter it’s that good. When I’m not using it for stuffing I love to add jalapeños and cheese and serve it with chili and soups. It makes great croutons also for salads.
