Ingredients

2 T olive oil2 cloves garlic, minced2 carrots, chopped4 ribs celery, chopped1 c. chopped onion1 c. dried lentils, prerinsed1 potato, diced small3 c. chicken broth3-4 c. watersalt and pepper to taste1 can tomato sauce1 lb. lean ground turkey1 T curry powder (add more or less to taste -- I needed quite a bit more because my curry was not very strong)1 t. garlic powder1/2 t. ginger1/4 t. cinnamon1/8 t. cloves1/4 t. cayenne pepper (opt.)

Directions

Heat olive oil in large soup pot, then add all ingredients up to and including onion and saute for a few minutes. Then add ingredients up to and including tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 50-60 minutes (or until lentils are tender).

In the mean time, brown ground turkey with the remaining spices. I also like to add more chopped onion as I brown the ground turkey, but if that's too much onion you can divide the onion in the soup base or just leave it out of the ground turkey. Once turkey is browned, add to soup and let simmer with everything else. Make sure you let it all simmer together for a while before you adjust the seasoning. Delicious!
