We made it to another week and that means we’re back with a new recipe! You all voted on this one so we’re back today with a delicious, packed with protein, and super easy to make Low Carb Lasagna meal prep!
Start this one with a mixing bowl big enough to fit your ricotta or cottage cheese mix.
Add into it 2 large whole eggs, 15 ounces of a lower fat ricotta or cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and some chopped up chives or other preferred vegetables.

Mix those ingredients together until everything is combined.
Next, take out 20 ounces of either lean ground turkey or beef and brown it over medium heat. If you’re not using a lean enough meat make sure to drain it before moving onto the next step.

Once browned add in 1 1/2 cups of your favorite lower carb sauce and mix it in.
Let your sauce mix simmer on low heat for a couple minutes.
Low Carb Lasagna Options
From here you’ll need to find some low or no carb tortillas, I used Original Zero Net Carbs Tortillas by Mission.

Depending on the shape of the dish or pan you’re using for your low carb lasagna you may need to cut your tortillas up to fit all of the angles. I use some kitchen shears to quickly do this!
Can’t find or don’t have access to a low or no carb tortilla options? Cut up and use strips of zucchini instead!

Low Carb Lasagna Layers
Coat whatever you’re using with some non-stick cooking spray and layer your tortillas into the bottom.
The size and shape of your lasagna is up to you. Want more layers? Use a smaller dish or double the recipe!
For your next layer add in your ricotta or cottage cheese mix and evenly distribute it over your tortillas or zucchini.

Follow that that layer up with your sauce mix.
Repeat these layers until you get to your last layer which will be 1 cup of a shredded mozzarella cheese and 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese.
Put that into the oven on 350F/176C for around 35-40 minutes or until it looks like this…
