INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
3 ounces Lean Turkey Breast (cooked)
1 ounce Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
4 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Fresh Basil sprigs for garnish
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the whole wheat breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Gently press each eggplant slice into the breadcrumbs to achieve an even, crispy coating.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of each slice with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake the eggplant slices for 15-18 minutes until they start to turn golden and become tender.
While the eggplant is baking, slice the lean turkey breast into thin pieces.
Remove the eggplant from the oven and layer a slice of baked eggplant with a few pieces of turkey breast. Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce on top and sprinkle with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Return the assembled layers to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly melted.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs and serve immediately as a hearty hero meal.
