INGREDIENTS
4 ounces ground turkey (93% lean)
1/2 medium eggplant
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 garlic clove
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Dice the eggplant into cubes and chop the red onion and garlic finely.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the red onion and garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the turkey is browned and nearly cooked through.
Stir in the diced eggplant and tomatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, so the eggplant softens slightly and flavors meld.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe casserole dish. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella evenly on top.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and eggplant is tender.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
