Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Ensure stuffing is completely free of breadcrumbs or other high-carb fillers. Request no starch/flour to thicken the braising liquid. Confirm red wine (if used) is fully reduced.
Watch out for
High-carb fillers in stuffing, starch/flour in sauce, excessive braising vegetables, sugar in wine or seasoning.
