INGREDIENTS
200g Eggplant
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
3 leaves Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly brush both sides with olive oil. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the eggplant slices for 15 minutes until they start to soften.
Meanwhile, in a small pan, cook the lean ground turkey over medium heat until it’s fully browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Remove the eggplant from the oven, then spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce onto each eggplant slice.
Top the sauced eggplant with an even layer of the cooked turkey, followed by a sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Return the eggplant layers to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts and begins to bubble.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
