Looking for something light, protein-packed, and full of flavor? These turkey lettuce wraps deliver. Ground turkey is sautéed with garlic, ginger, and scallions, then wrapped in crisp romaine or butter lettuce leaves. A drizzle of homemade ginger-lime sauce adds a zingy, refreshing kick, while chopped peanuts or sesame seeds bring crunch and healthy fats. This meal is low-carb, high-protein, and perfect for breaking a fast without weighing you down. Plus, it’s super customizable—add shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, or a splash of sriracha to tailor it to your cravings.

This vegetarian take on a comfort classic swaps traditional pasta for roasted eggplant rounds layered with herbed tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and a chickpea crumb topping. Chickpeas not only add texture but also deliver fiber and plant-based protein. The result? A hearty, satisfying dish that’s both low-glycemic and rich in flavor. It’s a perfect way to break a fast with something warming, indulgent, and sneakily healthy. Serve with a side of arugula salad and balsamic vinaigrette to round out the meal.
