- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to add a bit of heat, or 1/2 a teaspoon of chipotle powder for a smoky heat.
- Add crumbled sausage to this dish to make it a meatier low carb stuffing.
- Make this keto holiday stuffing recipe ahead of time then just pop it in the oven to warm it if you’re serving it as dressing, or stuff it into the turkey before roasting it.
