  • 1 package (8 ounces or more, to taste) sliced fresh mushrooms

    Directions
  1. Preheat the broiler. Lightly mist a 13" x 9" glass baking dish with olive oil spray. Set aside.
  2. Lightly mist the eggplant with olive oil spray. Place on a medium nonstick baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with garlic salt. Broil 6" from the heat source for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until tender and browned in spots.
  3. Meanwhile, lightly mist a medium nonstick skillet with olive oil spray. Set over medium heat. Crumble the turkey into the pan. Cook, breaking into chunks with a wooden spoon for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and no longer pink. Remove turkey. Lightly mist skillet with olive oil spray and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until there is no liquid remaining in the pan and the mushrooms are starting to brown.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  5. Place half of the eggplant in a single layer in the bottom of the reserved baking dish. Top with half of the mushroom mixture, half of the cooked turkey, 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning, half of the marinara sauce, and half of the cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining eggplant, mushrooms, turkey, seasoning, sauce, and cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until hot and the cheese is bubbly. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut it into 6 equal portions. Serve immediately.
