Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 – spray 13 x 9 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray

Spray a large nonstick saucepan with cooking spray; heat. Add the turkey, onion and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until the turkey is browned and the onion is softened, 5-6 minutes.

Add the eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, break crumbs and basil; bring to a boil, stirring as needed.

Transfer the turkey mixture to the pan and bake, covered, until the vegetables are tender, 45-50 minutes; uncover and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese is lightly browned, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
