Ingredients
-
* Eggplant, fresh, 1 eggplant, unpeeled (approx 1-1/4 lb). Sliced lengthwise into 8 - 1/3" thick.
* Sauce, Bertolli Tomato and Basil Spaghetti Sauce (or your personal favorite), 2 cup
* Italian Seasoning, 3 tbsp
* Turkey (light meat), 1 cup, cooked, chopped or diced
* Ricotta Cheese, part skim milk, 1 cup
* Spinach, frozen, .5 package (10 oz), thawed & drained
* Parmesan Cheese, grated, .25 cup
* Mozzarella Cheese, part skim milk, 4 oz, thinly sliced into 8 slices
* Olive Oil, 3.5 tbsp
salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Heat grill pan over high heat until hot.
Cut eggplant lengthwise into 8 (1/3-inch-thick) slices, discarding ends. Brush both sides of slices with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Grill slices in batches, turning over once, until golden brown and tender, about 4 minutes, then transfer to a tray.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Assemble eggplant rolls:
Stir together cheeses (reserve some of parmesan for topping), turkey, spinach, italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Divide cheese mixture among slices (3 to 4 tablespoons per slice), leaving an 1/8-inch border along edge. Roll up each slice, beginning with a short end, and top rolls with sauce, slice of mozzarella, and dusting of parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted and golden and sauce is bubbling, 30 minutes.
