Prep 15 min · Cook 30 min

Set a small pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil and onion, and cook for 4 minutes until softened. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until it reaches 165°F and is opaque in the center.
Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and half the salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lentils, black beans, crushed tomatoes, and water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the lentils are tender and the chili has thickened.
Stir in the lime juice and the remaining salt. Taste to check seasoning. Ladle the chili into a bowl and top with the fresh cilantro.
