TURKEY CHILI MAC
There are two things that make for a great Thanksgiving leftovers recipe. The first one is, it shouldn't remind you of the original meal. Plus, and just as important, it should be super easy and simple to make. Not only does this turkey chili mac satisfy those two requirements, it also happens to be incredibly delicious and pretty nice to look at. Garnish with grated cheese, onions, sour cream, and cilantro if desired.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until it starts to soften and turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
- While onion cooks, make the spice mixture by combining chili powder, chipotle pepper, cumin, black pepper, cocoa, cinnamon, and oregano in a small bowl.
- Add garlic and the spice mixture to the onion and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in 4 cups chicken broth, diced tomatoes with chiles, and tomato sauce. Raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
- Add the leftover turkey meat along with additional chicken broth if needed, and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 15 minutes.
- Taste for salt and other seasonings and adjust as needed. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir in pinto beans and elbow macaroni and cover tightly with a lid. Cook, covered, until the pasta is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili mac a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili is a great dish to experiment with different flavor profiles. Some good options include cumin, chili powder, and paprika. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or chipotle powder.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is what will really make your chili mac sing. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Pepper Jack.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the chili.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
Conclusion:
Turkey chili mac is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey. So next time you have some leftover turkey, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
