Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 1 lb ground turkey; 1 medium onion (finely diced); 2 tbsp chili powder; 1 1/2 tsp salt; 1 tsp garlic (minced); 1 can canned kidney beans (540 mL, rinsed); 1 3/4 cups tomato sauce; 3 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth (substitute poultry broth); 3 cups whole grain macaroni (dry); 1/2 cup milk; 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)

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.
