We've gathered some of your favorite main-dish staples, all containing 8 grams of fat or less. 01 of 14 Lentil-Toasted Barley Soup with Sausage View Recipe Fat: 7 g (2 g saturated fat) One reader called this veggie-packed lentil soup the “perfect dinner on a chilly night.” We love that it's packed with fiber-rich barley, nutrient-loaded spinach, and the subtle heat of fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, and cumin. 02 of 14 Greek-Seasoned Pork with Lemon Couscous View Recipe Fat: 8 g (2 g saturated fat) Fresh lemon peel mingles with spinach and couscous, perfectly complementing the Greek seasoning on our pork chops. Create this low-fat feast for four in just 20 minutes. 03 of 14 Dijon Lentil & Sausage Casserole View Recipe Fat: 5 g (1 g saturated fat) Low-fat doesn't have to mean bland. Our sophisticated take on a turkey and vegetable casserole gets its depth of flavor from a touch of Dijon, sprigs of parsley, and a little lemon zest. 04 of 14 Creamy Farro-Smothered Portobellos View Recipe Fat: 6 g (4 g saturated fat) Fill portobello mushrooms with farro -- an ancient grain with a chewy, nutty texture -- as well as Swiss chard, dried tomatoes, and thyme to make a delicious low-fat vegetarian meal. You can find farro in the health section of most grocery stores. 05 of 14 Sesame-Ginger Turkey Wraps View Recipe Fat: 5 g (1 g saturated fat) These turkey wraps are a healthy alternative to your sandwich staple. Lean turkey, shredded broccoli, and a sesame-ginger sauce offer big flavor without the added calories. 06 of 14 Cajun Chicken with Red Beans View Recipe Fat: 6 g (1 g saturated fat) Taking just 20 minutes from start-to-finish, this spicy chicken dish is the perfect low-fat choice for any weeknight. Simmer okra and veggies with a little Cajun seasoning to round out this satisfying Southern-inspired meal. 07 of 14 Shredded Burgundy Beef Po Boys View Recipe Fat: 8 g (4 g saturated fat) This is one sandwich you’ll want to eat with a knife and fork. Start with thick Italian bread stacked with beef and peppers that have been slow-cooked in an unexpectedly tasty marinade of coffee and red wine. Top with provolone and broil until you’ve got a melty, delicious dinner sandwich. 08 of 14 Classic French Dips View Recipe Fat: 7 g (2 g saturated fat) Fresh beef brisket dipped in Worcestershire sauce -- what could be better? This slow cooker classic requires just 20 minutes of prep time, then the slow cooker does the work. 09 of 14 Chili Bean-Stuffed Peppers View Recipe Fat: 8 g (4 g saturated fat) This no-sacrifice vegetarian dish tastes as good as it looks. Tomato sauce dresses up the plate, while a delicious mixture of rice, chopped onion, and beans fills the bright sweet peppers. 10 of 14 Tropical Shrimp Cocktail View Recipe Fat: 8 g (1 g saturated fat) Seafood and citrus fruits make a tangy combination -- here, chopped kiwifruit, shredded lime peel, lemon juice, and mango unite with medium shrimp for a low-fat dinner. 11 of 14 Turkey Taco Salad View Recipe Fat: 7 g (2 g saturated fat) Say ole! to a healthier take on a Mexican restaurant staple. Skipping the fried shell in favor of a few baked tortilla chips saves huge on fat and calories. 12 of 14 Southwest Chicken Skillet View Recipe Fat: 6 g (1 g saturated fat) Tangy sweet peppers, onions, zucchini, and black beans add flavor -- with little fat -- to this one-pan chicken dinner. 13 of 14 Chunky Minestrone View Recipe Fat: 4 g (1 g saturated fat) This veggie-stuffed classic cooks in 50 minutes in a Dutch oven, letting you focus on family rather than dinner prep. 14 of 14 Beefy Italian Skillet View Recipe Fat: 8 g (3 g saturated fat) Boneless beef round steak keeps this dish light in fat. Add fresh mushrooms, sweet pepper, canned tomatoes, celery, and spices for a memorable Italian take on dinner. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
