2 1/2 cups dried short cut pasta (approximately 8 ounces)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

In a large skillet heat the oil over medium high heat. Once it is hot add the ground turkey and onion. Cook for 7-8 minutes, breaking apart into small pieces, until the turkey is no longer pink and the onions are soft.

Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until you can start to smell it.
3 cloves garlic
Mix in the spices and stir to coat the meat.
2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Add in the dried pasta with the chicken broth and milk. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the pasta is tender.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until it is melted. Serve

Notes

If your pasta is tender but there is still liquid in the pan you can thicken it. Mix 1 T cornstarch with 2 T cold water. Stir into the pan and let it cook for a minute until the sauce thickens.
