Ingredients

1/2 pound ground turkey breast
1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil
3/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta

1 tablespoon white vinegar
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook turkey in oil over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the celery, onion, green pepper and garlic; cook until vegetables are tender. Remove the turkey and vegetables with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Add chicken broth to the pan; bring to a boil. Add bow tie pasta; cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat; stir in the stewed tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, garlic salt and turkey mixture. Simmer for 10 minutes or until heated through.

Loved this recipe! Husband recommended a little more chili powder or cayenne powder for a little more "kick"!

My family loves this recipe! I typically use 1/2 lb. of lean ground beef instead of turkey, however. I have been making this recipe since it first appeared in the magazine.

Instead of ground turkey, I used 1 lb of finely chopped turkey cutlets and fried this first instead. A very nice recipe that can be made quickly.
