HEALTHY BAKED STUFFED EGGPLANT
This is delicious as well as healthy. Although you can use lean ground beef in the recipe, lean ground turkey works beautifully. Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese is optional but adds to the taste. Enjoy!

- Saute, stirring constantly, 8 to 10 minutes or until meat begins to brown.
- Stir in tomato paste, wheat germ if used, and eggplant pulp.
- Cook 5 minutes, or just until warm.
- Lightly spray an ovenproof dish large enough to hold two eggplant shells with vegetable oil.
