Family and friends love this recipe. I use three power foods: tomatoes, black beans and olive oil, plus whole wheat pasta. It's comfort food to feel good about! —Krissy Black, Mt. Vernon, Ohio

Quick, easy and filling recipe. Always looking for ways to use ground turkey and beans so this was great. Can't always handle spicy foods so I only used one jalapeno pepper and did the minimum suggestion on the other spices. Glad I did. Even my husband, who can always handle spicy things, was glad I didn't use more spices. I believe I'll use rice next time, instead of the pasta. I didn't add the cheddar to the pan, but kept it separate so we can use it on top of our servings as we eat the rest of the leftovers. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

for us I won't take the seeds out of the jalapenos next time, but it was very tasty as stated.

I substituted 2 teaspoons of Tabasco Chipotle sauce for the hot sauce and that gave it a nice smoky flavor.

Simply wonderful! I made a lot of changes and this recipe is very forgiving. i used hamburger meat, forgot the tomatoes, used the green onions instead of white or yellow, and left out the hiot pepper sauce and allowed the hubby to add according to his own taste b/c when making something spicey the next day when you heat up left overs it is still spice but 10 times more so. I plan on trying this recipe again and make even more changes by putting a can of corn in it, just to add another texture. i may try using rice instead of pasta next time also just to see how it will be. When i reheated the left overs my pasta was a little mushy/nasty (cheap cheap pasta makes left overs cry) SO i also think that mebbe a little less pasta and adding to bowls before serving. will also try adding some cilantro next time. you can really try to add or leave out or substitute anything i think in this recipe.

This is a great chili recipe. The beans and macaroni make it very filling, and because it's made with turkey instead of beef it has much less fat than regular chili. Great fall recipe, the spices give it a wonderful heat.

This was awesome! My husband and young son LOVED this. And I didn't even have the correct peppers, only had red peppers.
