- 2Add the bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- 3Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper.
- 4Add the white beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, just until heated through.
- 5Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.

Good to know
How to serve it: Serve as-is, or add a small scoop of brown rice or quinoa if you want a heartier meal.
Swaps: Ground chicken works in place of turkey. Chickpeas or cannellini beans both work well. Use broccoli, green beans or whatever vegetables you already have instead of zucchini and pepper.
Leftovers: Keeps covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a skillet.
