Description

This Turkey-Macaroni Chili is a comforting, protein-packed meal that brings home-style satisfaction to your table. By cooking the elbow macaroni directly in the broth, the pasta absorbs the savory flavors of the turkey, onions, and peppers. The dish is enhanced with a blend of tomato sauce, chili powder, and a touch of sweetness from sugar and vinegar, creating a balanced, robust profile. Its perfect for busy weeknights or feeding a crowd, offering a warm, textured experience without the fuss. Serve it topped with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley for a bright, cheesy finish that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat cooking oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Crumble the ground turkey into the Dutch oven; stir in the chopped onion and green pepper.
  3. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, stirring occasionally; drain excess fat if necessary, reserving juices in the pot.
  4. Stir the chicken broth into the reserved juices and heat to a boil.
  5. Stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni; reduce heat to low.
  6. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the broth is almost absorbed and pasta is tender, about 10 minutes.
  7. Stir in the tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, garlic salt, and parsley.
  8. Cook over low heat for an additional 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
