Penne with Turkey and Eggplant

This is a great dish filled with all the flavors of Eggplant Parmesan. A quick and easy dish you can prepare any night of the week.

Ingredients:
1 Package of ground Turkey or Lean Ground Beef (90%)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 can diced tomato with oregano and basil
1-2 cups Marinara Sauce
1 large Eggplant sliced in cubes
1 Box of whole grain Penne (13 oz)

Bring a pot of water to a boil. In a saute pan heat olive oil, garlic, and ground meat. Cook till its no longer pink, add your canned tomato, sauce, and eggplant. Let the entire dish simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Cook your pasta according to box, drain and place into a bowl. Top with your meat and eggplant, stir together, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

Tips:
This dish smell AMAZING....if you don't want to use pasta use rice or just place it into a bowl, like a hearty stew. FYI tastes even better the next day.
