This is a very good recipe. It smelled so good while cooking. Like others, I added more spices to the meat (nutmeg, cinnamon and oregano) and baked it for a longer time. I cooked it at 375, covered for 30 min and then uncovered for the same. I also used WAY less flour in making the bechamel. - 12/17/08

O.K. this was absolutly delicious! I reduced the flour to 2 TBSP, and took advice of another recipe rating and started oven @ 375 with foil, for 30 min then uncovered at 350 for another 30 min or so...BUT I ADDED GREEK OLIVE PASTE TO THE TOPPING, AND DOLLIPED IT ON.... A FEW TBSP!!! OH MY GOD A MUST - 3/27/08

This is a good recipe, but leaves out details. Before adding the ground turkey to the pan, I recommend browning the onions & garlic in a tsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan. Mix the milk and flour together before putting them into the pan- the heat causes lumps. How long should this go in the oven? - 9/8/09

I doubled the recipe to make two pans and added the following spice alterations: Greek seasoning in the meat, mint flakes and cinnamon on the white sauce. The result was VERY tasty (especially with authentic greek seasonings added) but it was VERY soupy. I may use less sauce next time or add rice - 9/18/08

I made this once and it was so delicious I'm making it again today. I put a bit of olive oil in the bottom of the casserole dish before adding the slices of eggplant. I also added lots of veggies to the tomato sauce. Just a bit of regular cheese can be lower-cal and yummier than lots of FF cheese - 5/11/08

As other people suggested, I added cinnamon, basil and Italian seasonings to the meat…plus a fresh diced up Habanero pepper for some kick. I substituted low fat mozzarella for the other cheeses and baked for about 45 minutes. It was PHENOMENAL! I have never had a flavor combination quite like th - 9/30/09

Yum! I added cinnamon to the sauce on top and baked according to other comments. The recipe wasn't very clear on bake time, so it took longer than I expected but it was worth it. Even my picky husband loved it! I will definitely make this again, but will add some more veggies to bulk it up a little. - 6/12/08

I made this for dinner tonight with our fresh eggplant we've been growing in the garden. I am so excited to get to use something I grew in a recipe. It was very yummy too! I used a little cinnamon in the meat and I peeled the eggplant and salted it. I also crumbled a little extra feta. MUST TRY - 9/7/09

Have made this twice and loved both times...the 1st time i followed the recipe exactly...the 2nd time the ONLY change i made was roasting the eggplant at 450-F for about 25-minutes or so (until nice & pretty) before i used it. This gave it a wonderful flavor AND kept it from being too runny ;) Gr8! - 10/9/10

Love it! My husband, who doesn't like eggplant, went back for seconds. Great recipie and I use some of the other's advise - added nutmeg, oregano, cinnamon (about 1 tsp of each and only used about 2.5 tbsp flour. I didn't have lots of time to cook so I didn't cover it and cooked it for about 45 min. - 11/30/09

An interesting variation! I will try with turkey mince-usually use lamb. I used to fry the eggplant slices in olive oil but now I slice it thinly, put it in a microwaveable dish with a little water and give it a very short blast in the microwave before layering it with the meat and sauce. - 11/21/09

Finally tried this recipe. Both my husband and Ienjoyed it.Did find it quite runny but having never had moussaka before maybe that is normal.I did cover it and cook it at 375 degrees for 45 mins and it was well done . Have a new oven so maybe it is hotter.Also used 2tbsp of flour for sauce - 5/10/08

This was oh, so good with the turkey and eggplant. The flavor just came together and received a lot of compliments from those who are hesitant to eat turkey. I used chicken broth as a substitute for the red wine as I am not a drinker and this is not a stable item. I'll do this again & use less flour - 12/23/20
