INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey (99% lean)

1.5 cup eggplant

1 tbsp tamari

1 tsp honey

0.5 tsp toasted sesame oil

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp fresh ginger

0.25 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tsp green onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Dice the eggplant into uniform 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

• 3

  In a small glass jar or bowl, whisk together the tamari, honey, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

• 4

  Add the ground turkey to the bowl with the eggplant, breaking it into bite-sized chunks with a spatula.

• 5

  Pour half of the prepared sweet and savory sauce over the turkey and eggplant, tossing gently to ensure every piece is lightly coated.

• 6

  Spread the mixture in a single, even layer on the baking sheet to ensure the eggplant roasts rather than steams.

• 7

  Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, tossing the ingredients halfway through, until the turkey is cooked through and the eggplant is tender and browned.

• 8

  Remove from the oven, drizzle with the remaining sauce for a glossy finish, and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
