TURKEY LASAGNA ROLL-UPS
"When making traditional lasagna, my mother would always have leftover noodles, so she experimented and came up with this tasty way to use them up," writes Renee Buck from Greenville, South Carolina. "You can substitute chicken for the ground turkey and use spinach instead of broccoli in the filling for these roll-ups," she suggests.

LIGHTER SIMPLE LASAGNA ROLL UPS
These delicious rolls use low-fat cheeses, egg whites, and whole wheat lasagna noodles to increase their nutrition. The noodles are rolled around a ball of filling, as opposed to spreading the filling over the noodle. The technique is quicker and not as messy and results with nice looking cannoli-type roll.

LOW FAT LOWER CARB TURKEY LASAGNA ( WHOLE WHEAT LASAGNA NOODLES)
I love my mother-in-law's lasagna, but after looking at the rcipe, it was just too high in fat and calories for us. The noodle-less lasagna recipes just didn't do it for me. After alot of experimenting, I'm finally happy with it. It's probably not suitable for Atkins because of the noodles, but for anyone on South Beach or Zone or Body for Life, this is great. Generally, I hate the texture of whole wheat pasta, but because it gets cooked twice, it's fine. I served it to people who aren't low carbing, and they loved it! Obviously, you can substitute ground beef for the turkey.
