Meat Patties And Eggplant Layers

This hearty dish is a real show stopper! Perfect for the eggplant lover, the eggplant subs in for a traditional burger bun. Feel free to use ground meat or ground turkey instead of the ground chicken breast to customize your meat patty. Serve with a fresh salad for the perfect meal.

Directions

Prepare the Eggplant Layers

Peel and slice eggplant into 1/4-inch slices. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for one hour.

Prepare the Tomato Sauce

Brown flour in oil. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat for five minutes.

Make a sandwich consisting of one slice eggplant, schnitzel, and eggplant. Place into cooking sauce and cook on low heat until meat is cooked through, approximately 30 minutes.
