INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
150g Eggplant
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
3 oz Lean Turkey Breast Slices
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil if available.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Using a fork or toothpick, score lightly to allow seasonings to penetrate.
In a shallow bowl, lightly season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper. Dredge each slice in the whole wheat breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
While the eggplant bakes, toast the whole wheat bread slices lightly in a toaster or on a skillet.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading marinara sauce on each toasted bread slice. Layer with lean turkey breast slices, then add the crispy baked eggplant rounds.
Top the eggplant with the part-skim mozzarella cheese. Optionally, place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to achieve a melty finish.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately while warm and delicious.
