How to Make Low Fat Moussaka

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add eggplant and cook until browned and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook the ground turkey until browned. Drain off excess fat.
  4. Add the onion, garlic, and oregano to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, zucchini, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and low-fat cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Layer half of the eggplant in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the turkey mixture, then the remaining eggplant. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
