Moussaka
Greece's answer to Italian Lasagna..... except this is WAY lower carb!
Layers of soft eggplant, a rich meat sauce topped with a thick layer of bechamel sauce. Worth every pot and pan .... ????
Musakka, Eggplant Moussaka Turkish Way
Musakka is an eggplant based (sometimes potato) dish, often containing ground lamb or beef and is common in the Middle East, Balkans and of course Turkey with many local and regional variations.
While many versions, especially the Greek one Moussaka, have a top layer made of béchamel sauce, Turkish musakka consists of sliced and fried eggplant served in a tomato-based meat sauce, warm or at room temperature. This dish is a classic in traditional Turkish cuisine and pair with it rice and yogurt (or better cacık), that's an addictive combination.

5. You can use broth instead of water.
6. Use spices and salt according to taste.
