This Homemade Lasagna Dish is a perfect way to add a delicious family-friendly recipe to your meal plan.  This has always been a comfort food for my family, and when my friend Emilee made this for us a few weeks ago, I knew it had to be shared with you!

Make our Lightened Up Homemade Lasagna Dish as a great flavorful and family-friendly meal everyone loves for only 6 SmartPoints on Weight Watchers FreeStyle plan!

Lightened Up Homemade Lasagna Dish

Making this lightened up homemade lasagna dish for your family doesn't mean you have to use all of your Weight Watchers points in one meal.  We've lightened this up by using 99% fat-free ground turkey, low-fat cheeses, and a homemade sauce that will provide tons of flavor.  You will love how filling this is, and be happy kids will enjoy it as well as the adults.

Ingredients for Homemade Lasagna Dish

1 pound 99% fat-free ground turkey breast

½ pound Italian turkey sausage

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 red onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced
