450 g (1 pound) lean ground turkey
250 mL (1 cup) canned lentils, rinsed and drained

Mix it up
Don’t have frozen peas and carrots? Use any other fresh or frozen vegetable you like. Just make sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces and cook until tender.
Chef’s Tip
Freeze any leftover tomato paste so you can use it later. Spoon tomato paste into ice cube trays and place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until completely frozen. Transfer the cubes into a sealed container and store them for up to 6 months.
