INGREDIENTS
4 medium slices Eggplant (approx 120g total)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 Whole Wheat Hero Roll (100g)
3 oz Lean Turkey Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Slice the eggplant into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly brush the slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until they become tender and start to crisp on the edges.
While the eggplant is baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Once the eggplant is baked, layer the eggplant slices on a plate. Spoon a layer of marinara sauce over the eggplant, then add slices of lean turkey breast on top.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella evenly over the turkey, then add a light dusting of grated parmesan cheese.
Optionally, to intensify the flavors, you can return the layered ingredients briefly to the oven (about 5 minutes) until the cheese is slightly melted.
Slice the whole wheat hero roll open and gently toast it if desired. Assemble the sandwich by layering the baked eggplant and toppings inside the roll.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy baked eggplant parmesan hero.
