Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken ham, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream or dairy alternative
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • Optional: grated Parmesan or plant-based cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Warm for 1–2 minutes.
