17 Day Diet : Turkey Eggplant Parmesan,Eggplant Parmesan, an Italian standby, is one of my favorite dishes. We developed this quick version so that I could have it more often. Its super low in carbs and fat, and you wont even miss the breading. – Dr. Mike Moreno,This is a great recipe. I had an eggplant that I needed to use. This recipe filled the bill. I make some changes in that I didn’t have the ground turkey. So, used Italian hot turkey sausages. I removed the meat from the casings and followed the recipe. I also added 1 stalk of celery. I did use about 1 tab of EVOO to brown the meat, onion, garlic & celery. I had fresh basil so used it instead of the dried. Thank you for a quick and delicious dinner. Best part is that there a leftovers for another night.,Awesome recipe. I don’t even like eggplant parmesan that much, but eggplant was on sale and I saw this recipe so I thought I’d give it a try. I’m glad I did, because it tastes better than regular eggplant parmesan. The addition of fennel seed really made the sauce taste superb. I also ended up wilting some spinach in the tomato sauce for added nutrition, and served everything on top of whole-wheat pasta.
