Directions

  1. Drain yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve until thickened, 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Place turkey in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a medium bowl.
  3. Add onion, garlic, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to saucepan; cook until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Return turkey to saucepan with tomatoes, tomato paste, and oregano. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low; simmer until sauce has thickened, about 1 hour.
  4. Remove from heat; stir in chopped parsley; set aside.
  5. Preheat broiler. While sauce cooks, cut eggplants into 1/4-inch slices.
  6. Sprinkle with salt on both sides.
  7. Place in a colander over a bowl; let stand 1 hour to drain. Discard liquid; rinse each slice under cold running water to remove all salt and juice.
  8. Place slices on several layers of paper towels; press out water.
  9. Lay dry slices on a clean baking sheet; coat with olive-oil spray; broil until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn; coat with olive-oil spray; broil until browned, about 2 minutes more. Repeat until all eggplant slices have been broiled; set cooked eggplant aside.
  10. Place drained yogurt in a small bowl.
  11. Add Parmesan and eggs.
  12. Whisk together briskly with a fork; set aside.
  13. Place a layer of eggplant on the bottom of an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Cover with half the turkey sauce.
  14. Place another eggplant layer, then the remaining turkey sauce.
  15. Add a final eggplant layer; cover with reserved yogurt mixture.
  16. Bake until mixture is bubbling and top starts to brown, about 30 minutes.
  17. Transfer to a heat-proof surface; let sit until moussaka cools slightly and firms, about 10 minutes.
  18. Cut into squares; serve.
