Recipe Summary Gail's Turkey Lentil Stew

A warming stew with ground turkey and lentils that's low in fat. I like to serve this with a nice whole grain roll or bread.

Ingredients | Cooking Lentils

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 ¼ pounds ground turkey

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup roughly chopped red bell pepper

6 cups water

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 cup lentils

1 cup sliced carrots

¾ cup pearl barley

6 cubes chicken bouillon

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, onion, and red bell pepper. Saute until pepper is soft and turkey is no long pink, 6 to 8 minutes.

Combine water, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, lentils, carrots, barley, bouillon, salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sauteed turkey mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until lentils are tender and flavors are blended, about 1 hour.
