Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, 7 to 10 minutes or until eggplant is tender. Transfer to a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Add zucchini, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and saute over medium-high heat about 1 or 2 minutes per side or until tender. Remove with slotted spoon. Add 1 teaspoon oil. Add red bell pepper and saute about 5 minutes or until tender. Add to other vegetables and cover to keep warm.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in heavy skillet over high heat. Add turkey, in batches if necessary, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and saute on both sides until lightly browned and just tender. Transfer to a platter, cover, and keep warm in 250 degree oven.

Reheat vegetables. Remove from heat and add diced tomato and remaining thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Place turkey slices on platter with vegetables alongside. Reheat skillet from turkey, add garlic and oregano, and pour over turkey. Sprinkle with parsley.
