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.  **This recipe is DIABETIC FRIENDLY!**

1 lb. lean ground turkey

1 small onion, chopped

2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

2 tsp. olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained

Cook macaroni according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the turkey, onion and jalapeno in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.  Drain.

Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper sauce and seasoning.  Drain macaroni; stir into turkey mixture.  Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until heated through.

Sprinkle with cheese.  Remove from the heat; cook and let stand until cheese is melted.         6 serving
