3. Spray a saucepan with olive oil and saute the turkey/beef mixture.
4. Add tomatoes and beans to the turkey/beef mixture, keeping it on low heat until entire mixture is warm.
5. Separate into 4 servings, with each serving having 4 portions.

This recipe is a little light on the carbs, so supplement with oranges/fruit for dessert or a side tossed salad.
