    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! —Krissy Black, Mt. Vernon, Ohio

    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.


    Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
