This recipe was created by Redditor u/jvidican92, who has kindly allowed us to publish it here. As you can see from the photo, these keto chicken tenders look incredibly like the real thing! But the similarity doesn’t end there! They taste absolutely amazing, and have a crunch to match!

Keto Southern Fried Chicken

Our Original Almond Flour Keto Southern Fried Chicken Tenders could be a bit inconsistent with the coating. They are coated in almond flour and baked in the oven. Bake them for too short a time and they can be soggy, bake for too long and they can be burned and dried out. This made it tricky for them to become a true keto KFC replacement.  However, this isn’t an issue anymore.

Firstly, this recipe uses flavorless protein powder as a coating instead of almond flour. This allows you to fry the chicken instead of baking, as the protein powder gores crispy in the oil, where almond flour just absorbs the oil and goes soggy.

These keto tenders, however, are crispy, crunchy and full of flavor. If you are looking for a keto KFC fix, you have come to the right place!

The nutritional information is for this ENTIRE recipe. You could serve two with it, but you probably won’t want to share!

The Holy Grail 

Making the perfect keto friendly pizza is the ultimate dream of most of us who follow a ketogenic diet. There are a number of different recipes for keto pizza that feature almond flour or coconut flour, but this one, the best cauliflower crust keto pizza, uses (you guessed it!) cauliflower for the base. This is great because you can mix and match between the different bases, which stops you from getting bored with the same taste.

This really is a lifesaving recipe for when you are craving something naughty. I mean, that’s what Friday nights are for! Eating pizza! But because this one is so healthy, you can have pizza every day of the week if you want to! Not just on Friday! And this recipe is so good, you’ll truly begin to wonder how something so tasty can actually fit into your diet.

Recipe Information

Let’s start with the toppings. Feel free to add whatever type of toppings you want. For example, pepperoni is a popular favorite and will help add even more protein to your diet. Or if you’re vegetarian, load your pizza up with a load of non-starchy veggies for additional fiber. We, however, decided to go with one of our favorite classic combinations: feta cheese, black olives, and onion. De-lish!

Moving on to the base! It’s actually the crust that is the hero of this dish because it’s one of the hardest things to substitute from a normal pizza. But we believe if you follow the recipe correctly, you’ll have a beautiful crisp base, that is then perfect for spreading on delicious tomato or béchamel sauce.  We personally used tomato purée, which some might regard as too high carb, but is honestly essential for our palettes!

Nutritional Information

This has to be one of the healthiest mixes of Italian and American cuisine around. With only 525 calories, this is way lower than the calorie content of a traditional pizza. It also only contains 10 grams of sugar, which is mostly contained within the tomato purée, so feel free to replace this if you wish. There are 35 grams of healthy fats and the best nutrition of all is the whopping 34 grams of protein! So, it doesn’t matter if you’re craving pizza at breakfast, lunch or dinner, this tasty dish is sure to keep you going throughout the day.

Top Tips

This recipe is one of the more difficult to make from the rest on our website, so we’ve got two top tips to help you master this first time around. The main problem people have with this recipe is forgetting to drain the water out of the cauliflower. This is so important to do because otherwise your pizza base will never crisp up and will be soggy. And secondly, remember to use greaseproof baking parchment to line your baking tray! Otherwise, the cauliflower will be impossible to remove once it’s finished cooking.

One of My Favorites

 This introduction for these keto turkey burgers recipe might be a little bit over the top. Ok, it’s going to be way over the top, because I LOVE these little patties. I can’t even remember when I first discovered these, but I bet that I’ve eaten them every week since. Ok, maybe more than once a week …

They are so delicious, even if you’re eating them cold. To be honest, I bring them to work in my lunchbox a few days a week and just eat them just as they are at my desk. This is one reason why I actually got the inspiration to share this recipe with you guys. Since there are so many different jobs where there’s not a kitchen to eat in at lunchtime, not everyone has access to heat up food. This then makes it hard to come up with lunch ideas that you won’t get bored with day in, day out. But if you have a go at making these keto turkey burgers, you know you will be eating something that’s completely healthy and will keep you going until home time. Unlike a soggy wet sandwich.

So, let’s delve into the recipe, shall we …

Recipe Information

 For this recipe, you only need to buy turkey mince, black olives, feta cheese and eggs. Simple, right? You are then free to add any flavorings that you like! My favorite is usually just a pinch of salt and pepper and some garlic powder to make them even more delicious. To be honest, these burgers are so versatile, if you want to, you can completely change the flavor just by substituting a couple of ingredients. Don’t like feta cheese? No problem, use cheddar! Not into olives? Throw some thinly sliced veggies in there instead! Just to let you know though, try not to pick veggies that have a high water content. This will make the burgers soggy and won’t ever stick together, no matter hard you try.

Making them is just as simple. It’s exactly the same method as making a beef burger and even though this recipe takes about 25 minutes from start to finish, most of the time is spent waiting for them to cook in the pan. If you like to get prepared for the week ahead, you can even prep these on a Sunday and store them in the fridge ready for the rest of the week.

Nutritional Information

These little patties are perfect for anyone whose sugar-free or watching their weight. They contain absolutely no sugar whatsoever and come in at only 371 calories. The reason the calories are so low is that burgers usually contain beef, rather than turkey, which has a much higher fat content. They also contain 23.5 grams of fat and have a massive 35.5 grams of protein. Now that’s perfect for anyone on the keto diet!

So, don’t get stuck in a lunch rut again. Try these delicious burgers today – there’s no need to thank us!
