Lentil and Kale Soup with Turkey

I made this last week, but I substituted Jennie O's Turkey Kielbasa for a different take on the recipe... The nutrition breakdown is at the end. We had enough leftover that I had this for lunch the next day as well... It's low in calories, but is very filling because of the lentils.

If you really want to have some shortcuts - Trader Joe's has Kale washed and ready to go, as well as steamed lentils. You can cut the prep time and cook time in half by using their convenient ingredients... :-)

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 tsp canola oil
3 cloves garlic
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup lentils
2-3 cups Chicken broth (homemade is best, but canned is acceptable)

Directions

Brown the turkey in a tsp of canola oil.
Remove the turkey and saute the onions and garlic, until the onion is soft.
Add lentils, broth, and turkey back to the pot, cover and simmer until the lentils are cooked through. Add the kale and cook until the kale has wilted. If needed, season to taste.
