Thanks M&Mers for posting this recipe. My husband enjoyed this and so did one of my children and I. Not sure why but the can measurements were confusing with the way the cans were here in US supermarkets. As others have posted this makes a lot but we have slated it for 2 meals for 4. If others need can size help this is what we used 12oz pkg egg noodles 1 lb ground turkey 1 can (15.5 oz) kidney beans 1 can (15.5 oz)DICED tomatoes 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce I can (15.25 oz) corn niblets same spices and cheese amounts. If you like it saucier add more as we used less than called for. It was definitely a meal we will make on a weekday again. ChefDLH

Sorry, I didn't find this recipe to be anything special. I followed the recipe exactly, and I don't know what would have made it more appealing to our family. Perhaps some more cayenne pepper or some salsa?

Delicious quick and easy. Ok so I'm a chicken and only used 1 tsp of chili powder but it was just the right amount of 'hot' for my family. I used fresh fettucine pasta and other than the smaller amount of chili powder followed the recipe to a T. Thanks for posting.

I made a few slight changes to the recipe to suit our tastes and we really enjoyed this meal. I used a whole box of elbow macaroni, I omitted the onions (I'm not a fan of onions), I used dices tomatoes rather than whole and I substituted the spices for about 3/4 package of taco seasoning. Easy quick meal. I also did add the kidney bean. Thanks for a great idea.
