Instructions

In a large dutch oven (or soup pot), combine onion and ground turkey over medium high heat. Cook until browned, about 5-8 minutes, making sure to crumble as it cooks.
Add the chicken broth, water, tomatoes, beans, salt, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper and pasta. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for an additional 15 minutes, until noodles are soft and tender. Stir occasionally so the noodles don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add in one cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and stir into pot of chili.
To serve, add a ladle of the chili mac to a bowl and sprinkle on additional cheese, if desired. ENJOY.

Notes

For the beans: I used the beans I had in my pantry this time, which were cannelini beans and red kidney beans. Black beans, navy beans and pinto beans would all work just as well!
For the meat: ground beef and chicken are delicious in chili mac as well! You could even try a vegetarian version with crumbled beef substitute, although I haven't given this a shot and can't vouch for it. If you try it, let me know how it works!
For the noodles: Other small noodles taste great here for a fun change. Shells, ziti, penne and rotini would all be perfect!
Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
