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! Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni |
1 pound lean ground turkey |
1 small onion, chopped |
2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1 to 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce |
2 to 3 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the turkey, onion and jalapenos in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain.
2. Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper sauce and seasonings. Drain macaroni; stir into turkey mixture. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until heated through.
3. Sprinkle with cheese. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.
