Gluten Free & Dairy Free Eggplant "Parmesan"

My husband gave this dish a 10/10. My kids thought the grilled eggplant was chicken. I promise it tastes so much better than the picture looks. Below is a link to the original recipe.

Ingredients: 

• 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey meat 
• 1 large jar tomato/spaghetti sauce (I used a 24 oz jar of Classico Tomato Basil)
• 1 medium onion, diced 
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium to large eggplant, peeled and sliced 
• 3 eggs, whisked together
• 1/2 cup-1 cup arrowroot powder (can also use tapioca starch)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1/4-1/2 cup nutritional yeast, like Braggs (this gives the dish a cheesy flavor)
• Gluten-Free Noodles 

Directions: 

• In a skillet, brown the meat & onion
• When the meat is done, add the tomato/spaghetti sauce (see picture below)
• While the meat is cooking, start grilling your eggplant on the stove: Dip the sliced eggplant first in the arrowroot and then the eggs. I used a stove top grill greased with some olive oil. You could also use a skillet to cook the eggplant in some olive oil. Grill both sides of the eggplant until done. Place on a plate or a paper towel until ready to use (picture of my grilled eggplant below)

Layers:

• I used an 8x10 pyrex casserole dish
• Put half of the meat mixture on the bottom
• Layer on half of the eggplant
• Sprinkle on the nutritional yeast
• Layer on the basil leaves
• Put the rest of the meat mixture on
• Layer the rest of the eggplant 

Serve with gluten free noodles
