Low Carb Lasagna

low carb lasagnaThis low carb lasagna recipe is packed with lean ground turkey, hot Italian turkey sausage and veggies! There are no noodles involved in this recipe so it is low carb and high protein! If you loved my meat sauce recipe (click here to get!) than you will love this low carb lasagna even more!

NUTRITION

This recipe has 395 calories per serving, 15g of carbs, 20g of fat and 38g of protein! If you are looking to reduce the fat content then spray the saute pan with cooking spray instead of olive oil and/or take out the ricotta cheese. This recipe is naturally gluten-free. I wouldn’t suggest trying to make it vegetarian as then you will be left with veggies, ricotta and tomato sauce. However, whatever floats your boat!

HELPFUL HINTS

Don’t worry about how you lay the zucchini/squash down in the baking dish. When I first made this dish, I tried to be so methodical and then I realized when you store the recipe in tupperware it all gets mixed together! I still try to alternate the zucchini/squash but in reality it doesn’t matter! The size of the zucchini and squash that you buy will determine how many you need. If they are on the larger side you will probably only need 3 and you will also want to quarter them instead of halving.

SPICE ISN’T FOR YOU?

This recipe isn’t that spicy, however if you really don’t like any spice then I suggest removing the cayenne pepper from the recipe and use Jennie-O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage instead of Hot. Boom! You’re back in business!

SERVE WITH

I serve this over spaghetti squash because it gives you an extra boost of veggies AND because it gives me more bang for my buck. I typically lay a half cup of spaghetti squash at the bottom of my bowl and then top with two ladles of the lasagna. This gives you somewhere around 7 servings.

This is a twist on your traditional lasagna but it is definitely a heart healthier version! So eat this low carb lasagna on the regular and splurge occasionally on the full noodle, traditional lasagna during holidays!
