Turkey Aubergine Bake

This was a bit of a mishmash of things that were left in the fridge - but it worked out very nicely indeed! I probably would have done this with chicken but it was actually really nice with turkey and it stayed much more tender than chicken ever seems to do with this much cooking!

Ingredients

Turkey breast
1 onion diced
1 red pepper diced
1 green pepper diced
2 cloves of garlic
1 tin tomatoes
1 large aubergine
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to season
1 teaspoon of paprika
Black olives



1) Slice the aubergine into circles, season with salt and pepper and add a bit of oil and bake for about 10 minutes to soften them up.
2) Heat the olive oil in a pan then crush the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds to release the flavour but not enough to brown it.
3) Add the onion and cook till soft.
4) Now add the peppers and add salt and pepper and paprika. Cook for a few more minutes until soft.
5) Add the turkey and cook for about 1 min until it is white but not cooked all the way through. This way the turkey will be more tender.
6) Add the tin tomatoes and black olives, bring to the boil then simmer with the lid off until the sauce has reduced and is a bit thicker.
7) Line a shallow oven proof dish with the aubergines then top with the sauce and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
