Low-Carb Lasagna image

I love this recipe because you don't miss the pasta in the lasagna. It looks, smells and tastes like the real deal! You can add ricotta cheese or any other kind of cheese you like for variation. -Tammy Kirk, Raleigh, NC

LOW FAT LOWER CARB TURKEY LASAGNA ( WHOLE WHEAT LASAGNA NOODLES)



Low Fat Lower Carb Turkey Lasagna ( Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles) image

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.

1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

30 ounces about 4 cups polly-o fat-free ricotta cheese
