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.
