Step 1

Add the lentils and water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the water is absorbed and the lentils are cooked.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add the carrots and sweet potato to a food processor and pulse for a few seconds; set aside. Add the ground turkey or chicken to a large pot or Dutch oven and cook it until it's no longer pink, using a wooden spoon to break it up.

Step 3

Add the chopped carrots and sweet potato to the pot with the turkey, along with the spinach. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Add a small amount of olive oil if needed.

Step 4

Once the lentils are cooked, add them to the pot and stir to combine.

Step 5

Store food in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Or, transfer to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 6

Place the ground turkey or chicken, carrots, sweet potatoes, and lentils into your slow cooker, then add 4 cups of water and give everything a gentle stir.

Step 7

Cook on HIGH for 3.5 hours, or until the vegetables and lentils are soft. Then, add the spinach, stir, and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the spinach is soft. NOTE: you may need to add more water so the vegetables cook properly; if so, add 1/2 cup at a time.

Step 8

Store food in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Or, transfer to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
