Ingredients

    3 T olive oil
    1 c onion chopped
    1 c mushrooms (canned or fresh)
    1 can peas
    1 medium eggplant
    1 can whole tomatoes (can use diced, too)
    1 lb lean ground turkey
    1 large egg white
    5 whole wheat Saltine crackers, crumbed (can use bread crumbs, too)
    1/2 package (4 oz) 2% mozzarella
    Spices to taste

Directions

Start by salting and roasting the eggplant. About 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Then (using a large pan) saute the onion and mushroom, add the turkey and cook through. Once cooked, add the peas, tomatoes (if you use whole break them up with your fingers), tomato juice, eggplant, cracker crumbs and egg white. Spice it up to taste—we like a lot of spice and I used about 1 t garlic salt, 1 T black pepper, .5 T cayenne, 1 T sage and 1 t ground mustard. Transfer to a casserole dish and cover with mozzarella.
Bake for 35-45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Makes about 6 2-cup servings.
