Place all ingredients into the pot and bring to a boil on high heat.
Reduce heat to low and cook for about 2½ hours.
Once lentils are soft to the bite, remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Classic East African ingredients, the site where India meets Africa, match well with leftover holiday turkey to become Turkey Lentil Chili. I used ghee and turmeric to warm up the chili to just the right level of spice. Using a brined holiday turkey means you will not need much salt. Get more great recipes at CollardsAreTheOldKale.com
