Best 5 Turkey Eggplant Aubergine Lasagna Recipes

EGGPLANT LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil 2 baking sheets and a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt, and ground black pepper in a separate shallow dish.
• Dip eggplant slices into egg mixture, then press each gently into bread crumb mixture. Gently tap off any excess crumbs. Arrange slices on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake eggplant slices in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Flip eggplant and bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove eggplant from the oven and increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground beef. Season beef with salt and ground black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir tomato sauce into ground beef; bring to a simmer and set sauce aside.
• Place 1/3 of the eggplant slices on bottom of the dish. Pour 1/3 of tomato sauce with ground beef on top of eggplant layer. Sprinkle 1/3 of mozzarella cheese on top of sauce layer. Repeat 2 more times, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

LOW-CARB EGGPLANT LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Cut off the ends of the eggplant, then slice lengthwise about ⅛-inch (3-mm) thick.
• Sprinkle the eggplant slices with sea salt on both sides and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
• Lightly grease a griddle pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Grill the eggplant slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks are visible. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-low heat, then add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Add the crushed tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring well to incorporate the garlic and red pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, reducing the heat if the sauce begins to bubble too much. Add the basil and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the ricotta, 1½ cups (150 g) of mozzarella, ¾ cup (80 g) of Parmesan, and the Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine.
• Assemble the lasagna. In a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) baking dish, add enough sauce to cover the bottom of the dish and spread in an even layer. Add a layer of eggplant slices, covering the bottom of the dish completely. It's okay if the eggplant slices overlap slightly. Add a layer of the ricotta mixture and spread in a thin, even layer. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
• Bake for 45 minutes, until cheese is fully melted.
• Turn the broiler on high and broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top is browned and bubbly.
• Remove the lasagna from the oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before serving to give the lasagna time to set.
• Serve garnished with fresh basil.
• Enjoy!

EGGPLANT AND TURKEY LASAGNA (NO NOODLES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash all produce. Peel eggplants and cut off flower end, then cut in half lengthwise. Put cut side down and slice lengthwise in 1/4 inch slices. Set aside.
• Spray fry pan with Pam or add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, stir-fry onions on high heat until browning and lightly caramelized; add fresh chopped peppers and stir-fry until hot but not mushy (about 10 seconds). Add ground turkey, and cook, stirring and chopping constantly to break up turkey into small pieces, until just lightly browned. Don't overcook the meat; it will bake for another hour in the oven! Add dried Italian seasoning, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder and stir well to combine. Remove from heat and either set meat mixture aside to rest or put turkey and pepper mixture in a colander in sink to drain any excess fat (draining is an optional step).
• In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, kosher salt, egg substitute, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese. Mix well. Add fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
• Spread layer of spaghetti sauce in 13 x 9 baking pan or dish; top with layer of eggplant slices to cover bottom (these act as your noodles). Cover eggplant slices with a layer of cheese mixture, and then top that with a thin layer of meat mixture. Cover with a layer of spaghetti sauce. Repeat layering with eggplant slices, cheese mixture, meat and sauce. Final layer will be eggplant slices, covered lightly with tomato sauce.
• Bake for 45 minutes, until casserole is bubbly. Remove casserole from oven and sprinkle top with remaining 1/4 cup grated parmesan and 1 cup grated mozzarella. Return casserole to oven and bake for about 10 or 15 minutes more, or until top layer of cheese is lightly browned.
• Let casserole stand or rest at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before serving. This holds its heat well, so let it stand before cutting so the servings will hold their shape better. Serve with cold and crispy tossed salad. Yum!
