INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (150g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
3 oz Turkey Breast (deli, roasted)
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Basil sprigs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly brush or spray both sides with olive oil.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes, until tender and starting to brown.
Meanwhile, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Layer a baking dish with a few baked eggplant slices, then spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over them.
Arrange the turkey breast slices evenly over the sauce, then sprinkle with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle whole wheat breadcrumbs over the top for crunch.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving.
