HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING:
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon oregano
CHILI:
1 1/3 pounds 93% lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 can (10-ounce) rotel tomatoes with green chilies
1 can (14 1/2-ounce) pink or red beans, drained
8 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 can (8-ounce) fat-free refried beans
1 can (15-ounce) reduced sodium chicken broth*
1 3/4 cups water
8 ounces DeLallo Gluten Free shells (or DeLallo whole wheat)
3/4 cup part-skim sharp cheddar cheese, shredded*
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

Steps:

Heat a large Dutch oven or pot with a fitted lid over medium-high heat and spray with oil, brown the turkey breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. When cooked through, add the onions, garlic, pepper and taco seasoning; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, beans, tomato sauce, refried beans, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 15 minutes. Adjust salt to taste. Stir in the uncooked pasta and simmer uncovered over medium heat until al dente, about 6 minutes or according to package directions. Remove the pot from heat and top with the cheese, cover and let sit for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese melts. Serve immediately garnished with fresh cilantro and scallions.
