INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1 cup diced Eggplant
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove minced Garlic
2 ounces Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the diced eggplant on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Toss to coat evenly and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the turkey, cooking until softened and fragrant.
Mix in the diced tomatoes and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine the roasted eggplant with the cooked turkey mixture in a casserole dish. Top evenly with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
