This was a 5 star dish with changes: I added plenty of seasoning (Italian, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper) and the green bell pepper to the ground turkey as it cooked. I used a 28oz can diced tomato instead of stewed. I added 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and lots of parmesan cheese and mixed it up - with the sour cream, this dish was delicious!

I thought this dish was easy and tasty! I used minced onions and just one can of stewed tomatoes. The chili powder added a great flavor. I also topped with shredded cheese instead of sour cream..though I think adding sour cream would have been even better!

I didn't have bell pepper or onion and we didn't top with sour cream or cheese and I used rotini pasta as I didn't have elbow macaroni- turned out great, very filling and easy to make. Also, I added some thyme, basil, and oregano. Everyone at my table was quite pleased. I was fairly generous with the chili powder, although I didn't measure it out, and it really did not make it too spicy at all. We will probably make this again- I am happy to find another skillet dish which calls for ground turkey and uses staple ingredients that I usually have on hand!

This is a very good, quick meal. I used petite diced tomatoes as I was out of crushed. I thought about putting them in the blender, but liked the idea of the little tomato chunks, so I left them "as is". Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I did have to add a good bit more water than the recipe called for to keep the mixture from sticking and give the macaroni enough liquid to cook properly. We added shredded cheddar cheese in addition to the sour cream. Very tasty!

Pretty good! Just remember not to cook the noodles too long and that whole wheat pasta seems to fall apart. So let's see what happens when I defrost the individual portions I prepared!

We thought this recipe was fine, especially considering that it's on the healthy side. I used whole wheat pasta and did add a teaspoon of garlic powder. I may add a little more garlic powder next time. It's easy and healthy, so I recommend it highly.

Don't bother. I made this because I had the ingredients on hand, and it was edible, but just barely. The crushed tomatoes seemed quite powerful, may be better with spaghetti sauce. I wasn't expecting it to be exceptional, but it was worse than I expected. This one is definately not a keeper!

This was definitely easy, but I have to agree with one of the other reviewers in that with just the chili powder alone, it was really bland. I added extra salt, oregano, dried parsley, and some curry powder to taste. It helped a little. Maybe next time I'll add some garlic or garlic powder?

Very tasty! Kind of like your basic turkey chili mac. The flavors were robust but not overpowering. For a lower-cal dinner, I found the portion sizes to be very generous.
