Take the broth, put it in the crock pot. Add in a bag of green lentils, a small bag of baby carrots, 3 potatoes cubed, an onion chopped, and a bunch of cilantro chopped. Add about 1 tsp salt (not much since salt from the smoked turkey is already in the broth. Add enough extra chicken broth to cover the veggies.

Let simmer all day long, until the lentils break down and the starches come out and thicken it to a stew like consistency. Add back in the smoked turkey just before serving.

I made home made baking powder biscuits, cut into shapes with autumn cookie cutters (pumpkins, apples, scary cats) and served them with the stew.
I love lentils and have been wanting an easy crock pot recipe for them. I think I'll try this next weekend. I'm going to use my trusty canned chicken though. Smoked meats always upset my stomach for some odd reason. It sure sounds yummy though. Thanks for sharing!!!
