Healthy Turkey Lasagna Roll Ups

One of my favorite foods is pasta. I love any kind of pasta and could eat it everyday. So, making a healthier version of a tasty meal is all the better, right? Still satisfying that pasta craving, but cutting down on the calories is an added plus when enjoying a delicious tasting meal.
Loaded with gobs of cheese, these healthy turkey lasagna roll ups are seriously delicious. Serve with a side salad and garlic bread for a complete meal, yum!
Just look at this bite. I’m sure you can seriously imagine what this tastes like. It’s absolutely scrumptious! Have you made my Classic Lasagna yet? That is super delicious as well.
Using ground turkey (instead of ground beef), low fat cottage cheese and whole wheat pasta makes for a healthier meal. I even used organic tomato sauce and tomato paste. These healthy turkey lasagna roll ups are a great comfort food that will surely be gobbled up in no time.
You can totally substitute ricotta cheese instead of using cottage cheese if you’d like. Both work great in this recipe.
So if you are looking for a delicious, healthier lasagna, then you have come to the right place.
