Introduction
Fat content is higher because I couldn't find lean and/or turkey sausage. Remove the beef and pork for a wonderful vegetarian dish! Makes a great meal! Better than Olive Garden, with more than half the calories and fat!!! Fat content is higher because I couldn't find lean and/or turkey sausage.

Ingredients
-
1 Large Eggplant
2 Cans of Diced Tomatoes
1 Large Onion
1 Cup of Fresh Mushrooms sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic Minced
1 lb of Turkey Burger
1 lb of Pork Sausage (or Turkey Sausage)
16 oz of Low Fat or Fat Free Cottage Cheese or Ricotta.
1/4 Cup of Egg Substitute
8 oz Fat Free Mozzarella
1/2 Cup of Parmasean fresh or grated
1 Roma Tomato
2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 Tbsp fresh Basil
Directions
In a skillet, brown turkey burger and sausage. In a seperate sauce pan, grille onions until transluscent, I grilled in olive oil. Then add sliced mushrooms, and saute for another 5 minutes. Add minched garlic to onions and mushrooms, saute for 2 minutes. Add 2 cans of diced tomatoes and 2 TBSP of Italian Seasoning and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Combine 16 oz of cottage cheese or ricotta to 1/4 cup of egg substitute in a seperate bowl, mix well. Set aside.
In a 13x9 pan, spray with cooking spray evenly to keep eggplant from sticking. Set aside.
Peel and slice eggplant in long strips. Place first layer of eggplant on bottom of pan. Top with cottage cheese and egg mixture. Layer on tomato, onion, mushroom, garlic mixture, then layer burger/sausge, then layer w/ mozzarella cheese and parmasean. Place another layer of eggplant on top of that, and repeat until all ingredients are used up, ending with shredded mozzarella last and on top. Sprinkle w/ remaining parmasean. Slice roma tomato thin, and place on top of Mozzarella cheese (final layer only) sprinkle w/ Basil.
Bake for 45 minutes, covered in foil. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes to bubble cheese. Because Mozzarella is fat free, it may not brown or bubble well.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!
