Directions

  1. Bring broth to a boil in a Dutch oven. Stir in lentils, return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander.

  2. Heat oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and carrot, cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add turkey and garlic, cook, stirring to break up lumps, until turkey is browned. Drain any grease.

  3. Stir in tomatoes, olives, chili powder, tomato paste, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in cooked lentils, cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
