Place a large pot over medium-high heat and add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add in diced onion, garlic, ground turkey and salt and pepper; breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Next stir in the tomato paste, paprika, and oregano, and cook for 1 minute until tomato paste deepens in color.
Add in the chicken broth, milk, and tomato sauce to the pot; stirring until well combined.
Next, stir in the pasta and bring to a slight boil; you’ll cook UNCOVERED, stirring frequently, until the pasta is nice and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese and add additional salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes on top, if desired.
