2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant; saut茅 until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onions; continue to saut茅 until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, cinnamon, oregano, and a light sprinkling of salt and pepper; saut茅 until fragrant, about a minute longer. Sprinkle in flour and then stir in broth to make a light sauce. Stir in cranberries and then turkey; continue to cook until heated through.
