Hearty turkey chili with lentils, onions, celery, tomatoes, turkey sausage, and flavorful spices.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups dry lentils
  • 2 quarts vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound turkey sausage
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) container plain lowfat yogurt
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
  • In a large pot, bring lentils and vegetable broth to a boil over high heat. Then, lower the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage, onion, celery, and garlic until the sausage is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, thyme, and red pepper flakes; cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Mix the flavorful sausage into the bubbling lentils and let them simmer until tender, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Add salt to taste. To finish, top each serving with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
