Fry the potatoes in olive oil for 10 minutes, then add the carrots, turnip, and onion.  Mix, cover completely, and let simmer on low (leve 1 on gas stove) for 15 minutes (water from the vegetables will come out and start to boil).

Add the lentils and stir to mix thoroughly, then add the vegetable stock.  Add the paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, and mix thoroughly.  Drop the bay leaves in, cover completely, and let simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
