Preparation method

How do you make this?

Cut the turkey into thin strips and the eggplant into slices. First, brown the eggplants on both sides in olive oil with some pepper and salt. Set aside. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in the same pot, with cinnamon, oregano, and nutmeg. Add the turkey and let everything brown nicely. Deglaze with the can of tomatoes and season with pepper and salt. Let simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on. Steam the potatoes, mash them with the crumbled feta and warm milk, and season with pepper and salt. Spoon the stew into a baking dish, spread the sweet potato puree over it, and top with the slices of fried eggplant. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and let cook for another 35 minutes at 180°.

Serving tips: You can use minced meat of your choice instead of turkey strips. If you prefer vegetarian, replace the turkey with sautéed mushrooms.
