Healthy Lasagna

I left my Weight Watchers meeting today upset. I gained a pound this past week. After going to the gym 5 times for at least an hour each time, I gained weight. Whatever. I guess I am not good at calculating points when I eat out. So I’ve got to come up with better meals to cook at home. So here’s my healthy version of lasagna.

• Whole wheat oven ready lasagna noodles
• 99% fat free ground turkey
• Ground turkey sausage
• Organic pasta sauce
• Fat free mozzarella cheese
• Low fat cottage cheese
• Parmesan garlic

This makes 6-8 servings depending on the size of your servings. So that’s 8 or 11 points per serving. Much better than any lasagna I would have made before.

Cook both of the turkey meats together with the minced garlic until fully cooked, then drain. Then add the jar of sauce and simmer for a few minutes. I prefer the oven ready noodles, but if you can’t find them just get the other kind and cook according to the directions.

Then take the eggs, parmesan, and cottage cheese and blend them all together well. This will make your cheese layer. Do one layer of meat sauce and then one layer of cheese. With each layer I sprinkle on some FF mozzarella before placing the noodles back on. The top layer was meat sauce with more cheese sprinkled. The fat free cheese is not great. I’m not going to lie to you. I baked on 350 for about 30 minutes.

For the most part it tasted pretty good. Especially considering it was all made with low fat or fat free items.

A picture of the lasagna can be found here. Since I still cannot figure out how to fix the problem with the new Wordpress. Why won’t it let me upload photos? I’ve even installed 2.5.1 and it still won’t. And the forums just confuse me more. Stupid stupid stupid.
