Mmm Magic Mac


 Mmm Magic Mac
 This isn't a very pretty dish, but you know I was tired, hungry and in a hurry.  I had 1lb of 93-7 ground turkey and I wasn't in the mood for turkey burgers.  So, I asked Will what he thought and he said why don't you put it in with Velveeta Mac N Cheese.  I know what your thinking, "Ooh!  Cheese Food Subsititute" Wrong read the label it has milk and whey, cultured enzymes, it's really not that bad and the possibilities are endless.  Rachael Ray ain't got nothin on me. Anyway, to make this very quick and yummy dish you will need:  1 lb ground turkey, 2 cloves chopped garlic,1 diced gn bell pepper, 1 diced med onion, 1 chopped jalapeno, 1tsp cumin, 1tsp dried basil, 1tsp dried oregano, 1 box of Velveeta Mac N Cheese (we even used the low fat version), a dash of Lousiana's Habanero Hot Sauce.  Go ahead and get the pasta boiling and cook al dente of course.  In the meantime, saute your garlic, peppers and onion until onion is translucent.  Add your turkey and cook until there is no pink (be sure to break up the turkey with a fork or spoon), add your cumin, oregano and basil and stir.  Add the Velveeta Cheese packet.  Stir until all is blended.  Add your drained Macaroni to the turkey and mix together.  If you think it's to dry add a litte chicken broth or better yet if you have any boxes of Velveeta in your pantry cut off a big chunk and throw in there and blend until it's melted. Garnish if you like with a litte parsley. Serve into bowls with a dash or 2 of the hot sauce.  Yummy!!  And look how it blends in with the counter top!!
