This is the best way to use leftover turkey! Low-carb green bean stuffing casserole is savory, crispy, and super filling.
Green Bean Stuffing Casserole
You can serve this as a dinner entree, a lunch, or a hearty side dish. It really is three things combined into one incredible dish – green beans, stuffing, and a turkey casserole.
Everything is made completely from scratch. You can taste the vibrancy from each ingredient.
From the bold onions and earthy mushrooms to the zangy sour cream and nutty parmesan cheese, it all works together beautifully. And since it’s made from scratch, you can change it based on the ingredients you have on-hand.
If you don’t have any turkey, use chicken breasts or chicken thighs (or even pork chops). Instead of mushrooms and green beans, use carrots and broccoli.
You can adjust the spices, add cheese, or even make it spicy. You have full control!
Low-Carb Green Bean Casserole
I love remaking popular recipes into keto-friendly versions because it means my family and I can eat together! I don’t have to watch them eat delicious food while I eat lettuce like a rabbit.
And green bean casserole is such a holiday staple that I found a few different ways to make it. This time, I added a few more vegetables and turkey to make it heartier and more filling.
If you want a simple dish, make my keto green bean casserole. For a bit more spice, make keto jalapeno popper green bean casserole.
And if you want to skip the breading on top, make my low-carb cheesy green bean casserole.
Low-Carb Stuffing Casserole
Since this green bean casserole is made with veggies and turkey and lots of healthy ingredients, there are 7 grams net carbs in each serving. That’s why I suggest making this the entree or main course.
It will definitely keep you feeling full. The dairy is full of healthy fats that will satisfy you.
One quick note about the keto bread that you’ll use in this recipe. I suggest trying to find a keto-friendly bread that has thicker slices.
The really thin slices won’t give you enough bread to cut up and add to the stuffing.
What To Eat With Stuffing
This is a classic holiday dish, so serve it with your favorite low-carb holiday recipes. Start out with some keto walnut bacon brie bites.
For the main entree, make keto broccoli and cauliflower au gratin with sausage. And my keto eggnog bread pudding goes with anything – including this green bean stuffing.
Then, for dessert, make some keto Christmas cookie cups! Change the color of the sprinkles and they fit in with any holiday (try red and pink for Valentine’s Day or orange and black for Thanksgiving).
How To Store Stuffing
Add this stuffing to your weekly meal prep. It’s full of protein and fiber, so you can eat it as your full lunch or as a side with a tasty salad.
Store the green bean stuffing casserole in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. For best results, eat it within three days.
You can freeze the casserole, too. Just place the casserole in a freezer-safe bag or container. Keep it in the freezer for up to six months.
