A meal in itself. The addition of some smoked turkey gives this
soup a flavor that can’t be beat! Purchase smoked turkey breast already cooked; it
freezes well.
Ingredients
2 cups (510g) lentils, uncooked
10 cups (2.5L) water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery
2 medium red potatoes, cut in chunks
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp (1g) dried sage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp (3g) salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
1/2 tsp (2g) black pepper
8 ounces (230g) smoked turkey breast, cut in 1-inch (2.5cm)
pieces
Directions
Combine all ingredients except turkey breast in a large soup pot.
Bring to a boil, and turn down to simmer. Cook, covered for about 30
minutes.
Add turkey pieces and cook for about 15 minutes more, until the flavors
have mingled and the turkey breast is thoroughly heated through.
* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized
salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.
