Preparation
1
Cook penne

Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.

2
Cook turkey and peppers

While penne cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then turkey. Cook, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add peppers, then sprinkle with Enchilada Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.

3
Cook sauce

Add crushed tomatoes, salsa and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pan with turkey and peppers. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over high. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp, 4-5 min.

4
Prep

While sauce cooks, thinly slice green onion. Open one side of the package of tortilla chips. Gently crush tortilla chips in their package until broken into smaller pieces.

5
Finish penne

Add half the cheese, turkey, sauce and reserved pasta water to the pot with penne. Heat the pot over medium. Stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer penne mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 ppl). Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips and remaining cheese. Broil in the middle of the oven until cheese melts, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on chips so they don't burn!)

6
Finish and serve

Divide penne between plates. Dollop with sour cream. Sprinkle green onions over top.
