INGREDIENTS
150g Eggplant
1 Whole Wheat Bun (70g)
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
0.5 oz Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 oz Sliced Turkey Breast
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
Place the whole wheat flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Arrange the coated eggplant slices on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Once baked, layer the eggplant slices with a spoonful of marinara sauce, a slice of turkey breast, and then sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella and grated Parmesan on top.
Return the layered eggplant to the oven for 5 minutes to allow the cheeses to melt slightly.
Cut the whole wheat bun in half and lightly toast it. Assemble the sandwich by placing the cheesy, saucy eggplant stack onto the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
