Heat a small nonstick pot over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon. If the meat begins to stick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth to the pot. Done when opaque and browned, 165°F.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the turkey. Sauté for 4 minutes until the onion is soft. Stir in the smoked paprika, crushed fennel seed, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the remaining chicken broth and the lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 5 minutes more until the lentils are tender.
Take the pot off the heat. Use a spoon to mash a few of the lentils against the side of the pot to thicken the broth. Stir in the red wine vinegar, taste for seasoning, and ladle into a bowl.
