Preheat the oven to 200˚C, gas mark 6. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole and cook the onions and pepper for 5 minutes. Stir in the turkey, rice and cumin seeds and cook for 30 seconds, then add the spring greens, lentils, curry paste and stock.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Then cover the dish and bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring once or twice until the rice is tender and the stock absorbed. Fluff up the rice with a fork and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
