Directions
Low Fat Lower Carb Turkey Lasagna Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles, I love my mother-in-law’s lasagna, but after looking at the rcipe, it was just too high in fat and calories for us. The noodle-less lasagna recipes just didn’t do it for me. After alot of experimenting, I’m finally happy with it. It’s probably not suitable for Atkins because of the noodles, but for anyone on South Beach or Zone or Body for Life, this is great. Generally, I hate the texture of whole wheat pasta, but because it gets cooked twice, it’s fine. I served it to people who aren’t low carbing, and they loved it! Obviously, you can substitute ground beef for the turkey., This was an AWESOME recipe! The only things I changed: took out the nutmeg/green peppers. Substituted fresh garlic versus the powder. I simmered my sauce in a crockpot for 2-3 hours before adding in the meat. Everyone who ate it, loved it! :
