Gluten Free Turkey & Spinach Lasagne

Low Calorie Turkey Lasagne

To make really delicious tasting food, I believe there are a few essentials that you must keep in your kitchen at all times. Here is my must have list:

  1. Chicken Stock Cubes – Or vegan Not chick’n Bouillon .
  2. Fresh Oregano and Basil
  3. Fresh Garlic
  4. Freshly ground Sea Salt and Black Pepper

Low Calorie Turkey Lasagne

Do you have a cupboard full of old herbs? They are really only good for 3 months, so if you have anything older, just throw them all out. Take every single old jar out and throw it in the bin. Just buy small amounts from the bulk bins. Or better still, grow your own.

Even if you don’t have a garden, it’s easy to have 2 little pots with oregano and basil growing. They are so easy to keep and they are pretty hardy. They taste so much better than old dried herbs.

This lasagne was a hit and full of flavor, but I prefer a vegetarian alternative, like my Beefless Shepherds Pie. Just as flavorful and lower in calories than meat.

I like to use free range ground turkey breast, so that I don’t find any unwanted bits in my turkey. I used the regular ground turkey once and found something unspeakable. I guess they really like to use all of the parts of the turkey.
