Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken broth
1 ½ cups brown lentils
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
½ cup chopped carrot
1 pound ground turkey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
⅓ cup chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives
3 tablespoons mild chili powder
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
