Cooking Steps

Cook lentils
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse lentils until water runs clear.
  • To a medium pot, add lentils and enough water to cover by 1-inch (use same for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer over medium-high, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender but still firm to the bite. (NOTE: It's okay if lentils start to split a little bit.)
  • Strain lentils and return to the pot, off heat. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast pepper halves
2
  • While lentils cook, halve, then core peppers. 
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add peppers and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Arrange peppers, cut-sides down. Roast in the bottom of the oven for 12-16 min, flipping halfway, until tender and golden. 
Prep and marinate kale
3
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Remove and discard any tough stems from kale, then roughly chop.
  • To a small bowl, add yogurt sauce, half the cilantro, half the garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • To a large bowl, add kale, vinegar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Using your hands, gently massage kale until dark green. Set aside.
Toast chana dal
4
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add chana dal to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn!) 
    Transfer to a plate.
Cook turkey
5
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add turkey, Moroccan Spice Blend, broth concentrate and  remaining garlic to the dry pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** 
  • Add lentils and 1/4 cup water (use same for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. Cook 1-2 min, until water absorbs. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Stuff turkey-lentil mixture into pepper halves. 
  • Divide marinated kale between plates.
  • Top with stuffed peppers.
  • Drizzle yogurt sauce over top.
  • Sprinkle chana dal and remaining cilantro over top.

If you've opted to get beef, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook turkey.**
