My mom made this throughout my childhood.  I never really liked it then, but it is a sort of comfort food now.  I could not get enough of this recipe.

Turkey Chili Macaroni

1 t. olive oil
1 lb. ground turkey
1 t. chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1 3/4 c. dry gf macaroni noodles
2 1/2 c. fat free chicken broth
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 T. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp garlic salt
6 T. pecorino romano (made from sheep's milk)
1 1/2 T. dried parsely

Saute turkey in oil and garlic, drain and save juices.  Return to pan and add chicken broth, bring to a boil.  Add the macaroni and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often, until broth is almost absorbed.  Stir in remaining ingredients except 2 T. of cheese and parsley.  Simmer 10 minutes.  Transfer to casserole dish and sprinkle remaining cheese and parsely on top.
