Saute all vegetables except tomato in a little oil until almost done. Add
lemon juice, the beans and the herbs along with tomatoes. Add a little
water if it seems dry. Add turkey, heat until heated through. Serve with
warm bread. Try lentils instead of the beans. Experiment with adding hot
peppers if you like. Add a dash of cinnamon. If you have leftover sweet
potatoes, try cutting them into the mix. It will never be the same stew
twice in a row! PS: Even my kids liked this one.
