Cook

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Onion and Bell Pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 2. Add Ground Turkey and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 3. Stir in Garlic, Paprika, Cumin, Oregano, and Salt. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4. Add Canned Tomatoes, Kidney Beans, and Water, scraping the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 5. Stir in Macaroni and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the sauce is thick, about 10 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Turn off the heat and stir in Cheddar Cheese until melted. Serve from the pot.

Tips

Good to know

Ground turkey is safe when it reaches 165°F; check a larger piece with an instant-read thermometer.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.

Swap it

Use pinto beans instead of kidney beans if that's what you have.
