roasted eggplant with thyme, pomegranate, and garlic yogurt sauce :: try topping with chopped dried cranberries instead of pomegranate arils for extra Thanksgiving flava. Also, you can serve these babies room-temperature, so make ahead, and top with garlic yogurt sauce and cranberries at the last minute. Your oven will probably be busy making turkey!
