To top all that off the recipe must be easy, quick and not break the bank in ingredients.
So, I made Turkey & Lentil soup tonight - and it's so yummy I can't even stand it :)
Ingredients:
serves 6
1 pack ground turkey (I prefer the 93/7 fat content)
1 onion
1/4 cup olive oil
2 carrots sliced
2 stalks of celery sliced
garlic - cloves, crushed or powder to taste
2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoon dried basil
1 - 14.5 can of crushed tomatoes (I used the basil, oregano, garlic flavored)
2 cups dried lentils rinsed
8 cups of water
1 bag - 10oz frozen spinach (I used organic)
salt to taste
2 teaspoon yellow curry powder
Directions:
1. Spray frying pan with non-stick spray and cook ground turkey until no longer pink
2. place olive oil in large soup pan, heat slightly and then add onion, carrot and celery and cook until onion is tender. Stir in garlic, oregano and basil and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in water, canned tomatoes, lentils, cooked turkey. Bring to boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for at least 1 hour. Add spinach and cook for 10 more minutes. Add salt and curry powder and taste. If needed add more spices to taste (garlic, oregano, basil, salt and/or curry).
4. Serve and enjoy
* This dish is a great dish to put in the freezer and store
