My Smack & Cheese

Here’s a little recipe I made up today. Yummy! I call it my Smack & Cheese. A healthier, spicier, and very yummy version of mac & cheese.

Use whatever measurements you like. It’s basically really good-flavored turkey meat, macaroni & cheese.

Olive Oil
Ground turkey meat
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Dried Italian-spices (Used Emeril’s Italian spice mix)
Crushed red pepper (use liberally!)
Red Onion (1/4 of a large one, or 1/2 a medium one…)
Garlic (2 cloves or so, minced)
Bell pepper, chopped (whatever color you like!)
Whole-wheat macaroni
Pepper Jack cheese, shredded (mmmm… or whatever cheese you like)

Start boiling the macaroni! Fry up the turkey meat in a little bit of olive oil. Season with salt/pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian spices & crushed red pepper. When the turkey meat is just about done, add red onion & garlic & bell pepper. (If you’re daring, add some jalapeno too!) You’re not really sauteing the veggies. Just getting them a little soft. (or cook them as long as you’d like). Once the turkey is brown & the veggies are cooked, turn off the heat. Spoon the turkey mix over the cooked macaroni, adding some shredded cheese. Mix & eat!
