Turkey and Eggplant Stew

It's meal prep season. I'm trying so hard to get myself back on some kind of routine. There's no doubt I feel better when I take the time to meal plan and prep for the week.

So I'm using the GreenLiteBites FB group as my meal planning accountability "partner," and I spent the weekend prepping lunches since I'm back in the office getting ready for classes. First, I made some Panera-Inspired Butternut Squash Soup but added some ground turkey for extra protein. Then, yesterday, I pulled together this idea I had after spying some awesome looking eggplants at the grocery store.

It's winter time, so I tend to make more soups and one-pot kitchen-sink type meals. They warm my soul.

Turkey and Eggplant Stew is a big-ass, chili-like, bowl of awesome. Top with a little feta and oregano to bring it all together.

Notes

• If I had spinach I totally would have added it. It would have made a great addition!
• When I measured out the final pot, I ended up with just over 8 cups but I decided to count it as 8 for nutritional info. I always err on the side of overestimated calories and such. 
• Feta on top of this is fantastic! Of course, skip it for Paleo and Whole30.
