Ingrédients

1 lb ground turkey

1 large onion (diced)

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

3 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tsp yellow mustard

2 tsp hot sauce (such as franks)

2 cups macaroni noodles

4 cups chicken stock

1 cup italian cheese blend (or parmesan)

1 cup of chipotle havarti (or pepperjack)

5 slices american cheese

1/4 cup heavy cream

3 tbsp scallions (optional)

Instructions

Add turkey to one side of a large skillet then add the chopped onion to the other. Sprinkle everything with salt. Turn the heat to medium medium-high and let it brown for a minute — using a spatula to break it up.

Once the turkey is starting to brown, add the chili powder and the garlic powder and stir while toasting the spices for a minute.

Now add the fresh garlic and stir. Cook for another two minutes until fragrant and starting to soften.

Add the ketchup, the mustard, and the hot sauce and stir; cook it down for another minute.

Add the pasta and the stock and stir. Turn the heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Once the pasta is al dente, stir in the cheese little by little until everything is melted.

Add a splash of heavy cream and stir one last time to finish.

If you'd like, you can top with fresh scallions or green onion for a pop of freshness.
