PREPARATION

• 1

  In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and ground turkey, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through.

• 2

  Stir in the diced onion, carrot, and celery, sautéing for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.

• 3

  Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional 60 seconds to release the aromatic oils.

• 4

  Pour in the vegetable broth and the dry red lentils, stirring well to combine and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

• 5

  Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the lentils are tender and have softened into the broth.

• 6

  Stir in the chopped kale, sea salt, and black pepper, allowing the kale to wilt in the residual heat for about 2 minutes.

• 7

  Finish by stirring in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors before serving in a warm bowl.
