Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 pound 99% lean ground turkey
  • 1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 15 ounce can kidney beans, undrained
  • 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: green onion, extra cheese, and sour cream

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a stockpot set over medium heat for 1 minute. Add garlic and onion and cook 2-3 minutes.
  • Add ground turkey to the stockpot and cook 7-8 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
  • Add tomatoes, beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and pepper to the stockpot. Bring to a boil.
  • Add macaroni to the stockpot and cook 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring every couple of minutes so you don't scorch the bottom of the pot.
  • Top with cheese, cover, and allow to heat about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
