Low Carb Turkey Lasagne
What I love to make in the kitchen are recreations of my favourite meals growing up that aren’t so waist line friendly and offer those watching they’re diets-wether its for health, sport or simply personal reasons a wider range of options when it comes to dinner, to make their journey that bit easier. Don’t be afraid by the full fat greek yogurt I am sure most of you are aware my now that fearing fat is not the answer, and to avoid low fat, skimmed products when possible. There is an option in the recipe to make your own tomato sauce base which I would highly recommend, or if buying in the shop go for the passata in the glass jar buy a good quality brand with little or no additives. This is a meal high in protein, fats and good low density carbs (courgette).
