CURRIED LENTIL, SQUASH, AND APPLE STEW
From the New York Times Well Blog ... Thanksgiving recipes for 2011. I tweaked this recipe quite a bit, based on ingredients I had in the house at the time. I'm reproducing the recipe, but noting my tweaks.

Steps:
- Tweaks: (a) Instead of the onion and carrot, I used 1 package of Trader Joe's mirepoix mix (pre-minced onion, celery and carrot). (b) I used Penzey's sweet curry powder). (c) Instead of real vegetable broth, I used Penzey's vegetable soup base. (d) Instead of butternut squash, I used a package of Trader Joe's diced sweet potato. I added the sweet potato when I added the lentils, letting it cook for nearly an hour. (e) Finally, because we're not vegans, I added two links of Trader Joe's hot Italian turkey sausage (diced).
