I love a good lasagna but let’s be honestly after you eat it, it makes you want to take a nap! This recipe explodes with those same great flavours with just a quarter of the calories and no carb crash! These savoury and delicious Zucchini Roll Ups are completely gluten free. I’ve added in some ground turkey for added protein, but you have the option to make this dish vegetarian too. Super easy recipe & it can be made in under 45 mins. I love having this meal on my weekday rotations. You can also make ahead of time and just reheat in oven later. So you can focus on what really matters.
