  • 1
    onion, chopped
  • 2
    carrots, chopped

  • 1 1/2 Cup
    green or brown lentils
  • 4 Cups

Instructions

  1. In a slow cooker, heat the olive oil and brown/sear the Italian turkey sausage, crumbling with a wooden spoon.

  2. Add onions, carrots, celery, and Italian seasoning and pepper, and cook until vegetables soften about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute.

  3. Add tomatoes, lentils, and broth and stir to combine all ingredients.
    Cook covered on low for 6-8 hours, until lentils get tender, not mushy.

    Note- If the slow cooker does not have a sear/browning function, the sausage and vegetables and seasonings can be cooked in a separate skillet and then added to the slow cooker.
