This has to be one of the tastiest healthy lasagna that I've ever tried!! Since I'm trying to go Grain Free as much as possible using pasta would be a big no no for me so I'm glad that with a little imagination (thanks Fitmencook!) we can find the right substitute and make it a delicious pasta free lasagna.


Facts:

Sweet potatoes have unique health benefits! They are loaded with vitamins A, C and E - antioxidants that can help prevent heart disease and cancer, bolster the immune system and even slow aging by promoting good vision and healthy skin. They have been recently reclassified as an "antidiabetic" food. They are anti-inflammatory and can protect against emphysema.


Ingredients: (for 3/4 servings)

  • 500g lean ground turkey

  • 1/2 large sweet potatos - thinly sliced

  • 1 egg white

  • 1 cup low fat cottage cheese

  • 1/2 cup reduced fat mozzarella

  • 2 tomatoes

  • 200ml organic tomato sauce (no salt)

  • 1 cup mushrooms

  • 1 small red onions

  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic

  • 1/2 cup chopped coriander (use as desired)

  • Seasonings: 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, sea salt, pepper, cayenne pepper


Directions:

  • Set oven to 190C.

  • Slice sweet potato using a mandolin or sharp knife and separately chop up tomatoes, onions and mushrooms.

  • Mix cottage cheese with egg white and set aside.

  • Sauté red onions with garlic paste, then add meat, tomatoes, cilantro, mushrooms, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning.

  • Build lasagna. Add sweet potato slices, meat sauce, cottage cheese and then repeat. Top with mozzarella.

  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes at 190C.
