Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon, until the meat reaches 165°F and is opaque.
Stir in the red lentils, taco seasoning, salt, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the lentils are soft and only a little thick liquid remains. If the mixture is still wet after 20 minutes, simmer uncovered for 2 minutes more.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and fluff with a fork. Transfer the turkey and lentils to a bowl and top with the shredded romaine, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
