Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 lbs ground beef
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 650 ml jars tomato sauce Use your favourite low carb sauce
- 18 slices deli turkey
- 24 slices provolone
- 3 cups mozzarella shredded
- 1 cup parmesan grated
Instructions
- In a large pot over low heat, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the onion and garlic are transluscent add the 2 lbs of ground beef and brown on medium heat.
- Add the 2 jars of sauce and mix well.
- Bring the heat down to low and place a lid on the pot to let simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the burner, remove the lid and let cool for another 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Using a 9" x 13" baking pan you can now assemble the lasagna.
- Start with coating the bottom of the pan with some of the tomatoe sauce.
- Layer the turkey slices, I used 6 slices per layer but you may need to use more, depending on how big your slices are.
- Next layer the provolone, I used 8 slices per layer.
- Layer on the meat sauce.
- Add layer of shredded mozzarella.
- Layer another 2 more times, for a total of 3 layers. If you are using a shallow pan you may only have 2 layers or if your pan is deeper you could possibly have 4 layers.
- Cover with tinfoil and place in oven for 30 minutes, I placed my pan on a cookie sheet in case there was any spill over.
- Remove from oven, remove the tinfoil and place back in the oven for another 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven, let sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the lasagna to set. This will make it easier to slice without it falling apart.
- I sliced it in squares with a sharp knife and then I removed each square with a metal spatula

Notes
Pro Tip: if using parmesan only sprinkle over the final layer. Otherwise it may make the lasagna too salty if sprinkling on every layer.
