This Turkey Chili Mac and Cheese is a hearty, healthy one pot pasta that
comes together in 30 minutes or less!
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 medium onion finely diced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
540 ml canned kidney beans, rinsed (19oz)
1 3/4 cups tomato sauce
3 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable or poultry broth
3 cups whole grain macaroni, dry (340-375g)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet, brown turkey (you may want to lightly grease the pan if your turkey is very lean) on medium-high heat.
Add onion, chili powder, salt and garlic and cook until onion is softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in beans, tomato sauce, and broth and bring to a simmer.
Stir in dry macaroni. Bring back to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, just until pasta is tender, stirring often.
Stir in milk and cheese (reserving a little for the top if you prefer). Serve.
