I've seen one recipe that replaces the pasta sheets with turkey slices

.Think I need to get this clear. Turkey slices, like as in out of a packet? Or slices of turkey carved from a....turkey?
Sounds interesting though, if a little wierd!

I've seen the same thing. As far as I remember it was very thin layers of turkey compacted into a similar style as normal lasagne sheets.
Will have to look around and see if I can find the linky

instead of using sheets of pasta, put a few sticks of spaghetti on there instead.

How about slicing courgettes lenthways and drying them in an oven at about 100°C for 30 minutes just to remove a little water but not shrink them. Use the thin slices of courgette as a pasta replacement. You might manage to swap thin slices of a white mold goats cheese, cut whilst chilled or barely freezing, for your bechamel.
As a general rule when cooking with aubergine and courgette I regulalry dry them in theoven on a low heat before adding them late on to curries or stews it intensifies the flavour improves the texture and avoids the wateriness that can ruin them if overcooked.

I've made lasagne with sliced courgettes - it worked OK, but not really the same.
Asda now sell wholemeal lasagne sheets. One layer won't do you any harm.

In these circumstances, I do the same as above, I normally just make it in a more shallow dish, and only use one layer of pasta. Should help cut some of the carbs out.

You could use a low fat mozzarella instead of the bechamel, just break it up and use it for layers. Use Quorn mince or a do a vegetarian lasagne and wholemeal pasta and you won't be doing too bad.
How is removing the sources of good fat and protein going to reduce the carb content?
Use arrowroot to thicken the sauce instead of a flour/butter roux.

Flour is 75% carbs
The flour used is pretty much a couple of tablespoons at most.

I meant the vegetarian and low fat mozzarella parts, hence my mention of arrowroot in place of flour.
