Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup olive oil, divided
2 eggplants, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 cup quinoa
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (such as Hunt's®)
1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry eggplant slices a single layer at a time, replenishing oil between batches, until golden brown and soft, about 1 minute per side.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add turkey and onion; cook and stir until turkey is crumbled and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in quinoa and season with salt and pepper. Pour in spaghetti sauce; cook until sauce is bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Spread a layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Top with even layers of eggplant slices and Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat layering sauce, eggplant, and cheese, ending with sauce on top. Spread mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 45 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until top is golden, about 15 minutes more.

This is a delicious way to use quinoa. It's comfort food with a healthy twist with vegetables and low-calorie cheeses. I adapted it from a recipe found in Eating Well. Although it's gluten-free, it doesn't taste like it.
