Turkey-Eggplant Casserole



This is a great recipe that I have used for years. It works well with zucchini too.  Believe it or not, it is an old Weight Watcher's Recipe.  (it does not taste like it though)  Pair this with rice, pasta or french bread to make a quick and healthy dinner.

1 1/4 pounds ground skinless turkey
1 onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large eggplant, cubed  (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1   28 oz can crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
1 green, 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 cup seasoned dried bread crumbs
1 teaspoons dried basil
1/4  cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Preheat oven to 350.  Spray 13 x 9 inch baking pan with Pam
  • Spray large nonstick saucepan or dutch oven with Pam; heat  Add turkey, onion and garlic.  Cook, stirring as needed until turkey is browned and onions are softened, 5 - 6 minutes.
  • Add eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, bread crumbs and basil; bring to boil.  Stir as needed.
  • Transfer turkey mixture to baking dish.  Bake covered until vegetables are tender.  45 - 50 minutes.
  • Uncover, sprinkle with cheese and bake until cheese is lightly browned; about 15 minutes.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
