DIABETIC LASAGNA RECIPE Recipes

Get ready to drool because this amazing Diabetic Lasagna Recipe is delicious, creamy, meaty and so easy to make. You’ll notice that a few ingredient swaps make this lasagna lower in fat, calories, sugar, and salt.

I got a few emails last month regarding diabetic dishes so I decided to do a little research and came out with this delicious Diabetic Lasagna Recipe. I used ground turkey breast instead of beef, I also used part skim mozzarella cheese, fat-free ricotta cheese, and whole wheat pasta.

These changes made a difference in calories and fat, but definitely not on flavor. My husband and mother in law had no idea! They loved it and devoured it. Serve it with a nice green salad on the side and you have an easy and delicious full meal.

You can make this Diabetic Lasagna Recipe in advance and just bake off at the last minute, you can also freeze it before baking and it goes straight from the freezer to the oven. Perfect for last minute guests or for weekly meal planning.
