You know I love an easy dinner and what is easier than 5 ingredients AND only one pan!?  Thats just what I have here.  I don’t often remember to cook with kielbasa, but I’m so glad I did when recipe testing.

Ingredients for kielbasa and lentils

What ingredients do you need for 5 ingredient kielbasa and lentils?

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Turkey kielbasa
  • Onion
  • Can of diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
  • Can of green lentils
  • Salt

Cooking kielbasa and onionis

I like making this recipe with turkey kielbasa instead of traditional kielbasa, which is made with pork and beef.  Turkey kielbasa, like this one, is more lean and still tastes amazing.  Plus, I love using turkey in recipes like these sloppy Joes and this meatloaf.

5 Ingredient Kielbasa and Lentils Recipe

How do you make kielbasa and lentils?

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add kielbasa and onions.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until kielbasa is browned (about 5 minutes).

  2. Add in lentils, tomatoes and salt.  Bring tomato juice to a boil and then cook until absorbed, stirring throughout.

  3. Remove from heat and serve.

How long do lentils take to cook?

  • The best news with this recipe is that you used canned lentils so you don’t have to soak or cook them ahead of time!  I discovered canned lentils when making this recipe.  Canned lentils are so great because they are already cooked.

Lentils are great to cook with because they’re packed with vitamins like B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and potassium.  Plus, they are packed with protein!

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
