Lentils with turkey sausage makes for an economical and comforting dinner. I start chopping the vegetables and John starts the cooking right away. First I chop the onion and garlic which he starts cooking in some olive oil. By the time he’s got the onions ready I have finished chopping the celery and carrots. They go in the pot. Next we add the herbs and spices followed by chicken stock and the lentils. Lastly the sliced turkey goes in. The whole thing cooks at a simmer for about 25 minutes or until the lentils are cooked through. The whole dinner costs less than $5.00 and is packed with flavor, fiber, vitamins, and protein.
