In a small saucepan, combine the red lentils and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and lentils are tender but not mushy.
While the lentils cook, heat the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat into small crumbles, until the turkey is cooked through and opaque in the center. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir the cooked lentils into the skillet with the turkey. Cook for 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Place the baby kale in a bowl, toss with lemon juice, and top with the warm turkey and lentil mixture.
