1. Step

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the pulp, leaving a shell about 1/4 inch thick. Set the shells aside.

2. Step

Coarsely chop the eggplant pulp. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and chopped eggplant. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

3. Step

Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned and crumbled. Drain off any excess fat.

4. Step

Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.

5. Step

Spoon the meat mixture into the eggplant shells and place them in a baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

6. Step

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the eggplants are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley.

7. Step

Let the stuffed eggplants sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
