For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground turkey with a touch of olive oil and garlic before adding it to the slow cooker. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what's in season. Zucchini, green beans, or spinach would also be delicious additions. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend it before serving. Adjust the amount of molasses to your liking, starting with less and adding more to achieve the desired sweetness. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Jun 21, 2025I found that 6 hours on low was perfect for my slow cooker. The lentils were tender and the vegetables were cooked through but not mushy.

Jun 20, 2025This recipe is so versatile! I've made it with chicken instead of turkey, and it's just as good.

Jun 16, 2025Be careful not to add too much water, or the soup will be too thin. I started with 4 cups and only added a little more at the end.
