This recipe is from the first 2 years of mine and Eric’s marriage. We got it from Rachel, a girl in our small group who was the queen of finding lower fat recipe. After she served it at a small group supper club, I saved it in our family cookbook.
This recipe is really great because it is lower in fat than most lasagna recipes with the substitution of ground turkey instead of ground beef and everything that can be added in low fat form like the cheeses are. For me, this recipe is a huge win because Eric loves it (even though he doesn’t even like ground turkey)! Once you get all the cheesy, lasagna goodness in there, he can’t even taste the difference!
It is an easy meal to take to a new mom, someone who is sick or grieving, or make when you are hosting friends and family! My hack is to make a batch and freeze half for later with the start of a new school year when we are all super busy as well!
This recipe isn’t necessarily low in calories or carbs but is definitely a better, healthier option for lasagna if you are craving those flavors! It still tastes good with the lower fat substitutions and a more health conscious approach with whole wheat noodles.
When I began macro counting with FASTer Way To Fat Loss, I realized I have a certain number of protein, carb, and fat to spend each day. Everything we eat “costs” something and sometimes you have to be creative to figure out how to get the most bang for your buck when it comes to spending your protein, carb, and fat “money”. If I can choose my food and macros wisely, I am fueled to have great energy to keep up with my kids. This recipe is one that I love because it is filling (I can have MORE of it because it doesn’t “cost” me as much!) and reminds me of down home cooking with the way my mom cooked casseroles growing up.
