Preparation:
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium
heat. Crumble the turkey into the skillet. Cook,
stirring to break up the turkey, until the liquid is
evaporated from the skillet and the turkey begins to
brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, jalapeno, chili
powder, cumin and garlic and cook until the onion is
softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes,
cilantro and water. Heat to boiling, reduce the heat
and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper
to taste. (The chili can be made up to one day in
advance.)
Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain
the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the chili and
stir over medium heat until the sauce is simmering and
the pasta is coated with sauce. Divide among bowls and
serve immediately. |
