INGREDIENTS
6 oz Eggplant
1 large Egg White
1 Whole Wheat Bun
1.5 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
2 oz Sliced Turkey Breast
3 Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Lightly brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the egg white to help the coating adhere.
Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy.
While the eggplant bakes, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the eggplant is done, assemble the sandwich by layering the baked eggplant, turkey breast slices, melted mozzarella, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan, and a spoonful of marinara sauce on the bottom half of the whole wheat bun.
Finish with fresh basil leaves and cover with the top half of the bun. Optionally, return the assembled sandwich to the oven for 3-5 minutes to slightly melt the cheese further.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal.
