Turkey Sausage and Lentil Soup image

Modified from a recipe found in TOH's Light and Tasty, October 2007. The original recipe was sent in by Suzanne of Blythewood, SC. I added more meat and used turkey instead. Also added more veggies. Great with a grilled cheese sammy and a salad for a warm dinner.

This soup is a waste of time. The lentils never softened and the soup was very watery.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland. I think I'll need to add more spices next time.
