Ingredients

400g dry lentils
2 liters vegetable broth
30ml extra-virgin olive oil
450g turkey sausage
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
5g ground turmeric
5g ground cumin
2.5g dried thyme leaves
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
sea salt to taste
225g plain low-fat yogurt
15g chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Step 1
In a large pot, bring lentils and vegetable broth to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion, celery, and garlic; 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 for 5 more minutes.
Step 3
Stir the sausage mixture into the simmering lentils. Continue to simmer until the lentils are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
