To buy

Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dice 1 medium onion and cook it, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Mince 2 garlic cloves and add them to the pan, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- While the onion softens, drain and rinse one 10 oz can of lentils. Slice 8 oz of honey smoked turkey breast into strips.
- Add the lentils to the skillet and stir to warm them through, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Arrange the turkey slices on top of the warm lentils, cover the pan, and heat through over low heat for 2 minutes. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar and serve straight from the pan.
