Remove seeds from the chili pepper and mince or use a dash of chili pepper. Mince the 2 cloves of garlic. Trim and dice the aubergine. Grate the Grano Padano cheese.

In a wok or heavy skillet, use a little olive oil and brown the turkey and push to the side. Saute the chili, garlic and aubergine in a little olive oil until soft.
