How to Make Modern Moussaka A1
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roast Tomatoes & Peppers: Rinse and dry 4 medium tomatoes. Cut off stem ends and halve. In a bowl, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tsp dried basil. Spread on a baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Rinse and dry 1 large red bell pepper. Toss with remaining olive oil mixture. Place on the same baking sheet, separate from tomatoes. Roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove tomatoes to a plate. Place pepper in a zip-top bag to steam.
- Prepare Potatoes: Scrub 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, leaving skins on. Boil in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Turkey: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add 1 diced onion (1/2 cup) and cook until softened. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 lb ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned. Stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite pasta sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Cream Spinach: Rinse and chop 10 oz fresh spinach. In a saucepan, melt 4 oz goat cheese over low heat. Add spinach and cook until creamy (about 5 minutes). Stir in 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, a pinch of kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
- Assemble & Bake: Lightly oil a baking dish. Slice potatoes lengthwise into 6 slices each. Layer potato slices in the dish. Top each with 3 tbsp ground turkey mixture, 1/2 roasted tomato half, 1 tbsp creamed spinach, and a slice of roasted pepper (remove skin, seeds, and stem from pepper; slice into 12 pieces).
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned. Serve immediately.
