INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
1/2 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
3 ounces Lean Turkey Breast
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
3 sprays Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt.
Coat the eggplant slices evenly with whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Place the prepared eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
While the eggplant bakes, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan on low heat.
Once the eggplant slices are done, layer them on one slice of whole wheat bread. Top with warmed marinara sauce, lean turkey breast slices, and a generous sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Place the assembled sandwich under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and begins to lightly brown.
Remove from the oven, top with the second bread slice, and serve immediately.
