   1       pound        Spaghetti or Linguine - uncooked
   2       tablespoon   Vegetable oil -- divided
  12       Ounces       Ground turkey
   1       small        Onion - peeled and finely diced
   1                    Jalapeno - cored and thinly sliced
   1       tablespoon   Chili powder
   1       teaspoon     Cumin

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Crumble the turkey into the skillet. Cook, stirring to break up the turkey, until the liquid is evaporated from the skillet and the turkey begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, jalapeno, chili powder, cumin and garlic and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, cilantro and water. Heat to boiling, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. (The chili can be made up to one day in advance.) Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the chili and stir over medium heat until the sauce is simmering and the pasta is coated with sauce. Divide among bowls and serve immediately.
