One-Pot Creamy Taco Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 12 oz rotini pasta
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
• 4½ cup water
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
• small bunch cilantro, stemmed and diced

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, and ground turkey. Stirring occasionally, cook until turkey is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes.
2. Add the pasta, tomatoes, water, and spices to the pot. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until pasta is cooked and most of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
3. Once the pasta is done, remove from heat. If more than ½ cup of liquid is remaining in the pot, strain off excess liquid.
4. Add cheese, yogurt, and cilantro to the pot with the pasta and stir until cheese is melted and creamy.
