Turkey Lentil Soup Recipe For The Family
Turkey and lentils together make a hearty dish that I enjoy immensely. This recipe is excellent throughout the year because all the ingredients can be found year-long. It makes a good amount too. This recipe makes 8 servings.
Here are all the ingredients I used to make this recipe. Lentils and ground turkey go well together.
First, clean and cut the celery and carrots. Then, chop the onions. Set these ingredients aside.
Clean the lentils and set them aside. Gather and measure out the rest of the ingredients.
Heat the dutch oven or large saucepan to medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the carrots, celery, and onion. Mix well. Then, add the ground turkey. Using a wooden spoon, break up the ground turkey in the dutch oven to quickly separate it and cook up faster. It will take about 10-15 minutes to brown the turkey and cook up the carrots, onions, and celery.
Add the diced tomatoes, marjoram, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lentils. Add the chicken broth and stir well. Bring to a boil (it takes about 10 minutes to bring to a boil). Reduce heat to medium and cover, and cook for 45 minutes or until lentils are soft.
Here's the finished dish. Add parmesan cheese or Romano cheese before serving. If you want to make it richer, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bowl when serving.
