1. Melt oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot (I used a cast iron Dutch oven) over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, ginger, and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly brown, about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the coriander, cumin, cinnamon and turmeric. Cook 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add the broth, water and calendula.
5. Bring mixture to a boil and add the lentils, rice and applesauce.

7. With an immersion blender (or in batches with a standard blender), puree until smooth.
8. Add cilantro, coconut milk, lime juice and turkey meat. Place back over medium heat.
