The star of this recipe is eggplant! Not just any eggplant, we used Mixed Eggplant from The Chef’s Garden in Huron, Ohio. They have tested over 100 eggplant varieties and since they use to work exclusively with restaurants and chefs, they took their advice on what are the best varsities and now offer them in their variety package. Eggplants are ideal for both sweet and savory dishes. Today’s dish is savory!
This recipe is similar to a lasagna, we first bake all the eggplant slices, then we layer them in a casserole dish with eggplant, turkey sauce, and repeat. Finally, it’s topped with cheese – something that will make even picky kids gobble this recipe up!
If you love serving comfort food to your family but want to make it a little healthier – this is the recipe for you. With layers eggplant and protein-rich turkey and mozzarella cheese, this will become a staple in your menu lineup.
