Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups dry lentils
2 quarts vegetable broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 pound turkey sausage
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
sea salt to taste
1 (8 ounce) container plain lowfat yogurt
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring lentils and vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, celery, and sausage; cook and stir until the sausage is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, thyme, and red pepper flakes; cook 5 minutes more.
  • Stir the sausage mixture into the simmering lentils. Continue simmering until the lentils are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped parsley to serve.
