    I'm sorry for confusion about the vegetarian listing. I Leave out the meat completely when I do it that way.

     i make this quite often. It is one of my favorite recipes. Some times i substitute summer or zuchinni squash when it is in season and it is just as good! - 7/11/17

     I replaced the turkey with some meat substitute to make it vegitarian and upped the ingredients to organic/all natural type things (no Ragu!). It was easy to make and tasted pretty good. I would cut the eggplant into squares or something next time to make it more like layers and triple the spinach. - 3/28/13

     Had this for dinner tonight and it was awesome! I agree, it shouldn't be listed in the vegetarian section because of the turkey. Very filling! - 1/18/11
