American Ghoulash in crockpot

Saw a recipe and similar to chili in cooking.
Used modified recipes from slowcookergourmet.net, dearcrissy.com, and simplyhappyfoodie.com 
The kids were in town so for 8 meals, used 2 lbs of ground turkey and 1 full bag of macaroni. 
Eric said too much macaroni and thought green beans would have been good to go with it.
He also felt not flavorful enough, so maybe more salt, Italian seasoning, fresh oregano, Worcestershire sauce?
I added a can of garbanzo beans but didn’t like it with it.
Avocado was good topping

Ingredients:
-Ground turkey (1-2 lbs)
-garlic cloves
-1 yellow onion, diced
-Serranos - used like 6 diced
-3 bell peppers, diced
-green beans (eric said to add)
-2 bay leaves
-1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
-1 Tbsp dried oregano - Eric said next time use fresh oregano
-1 Tbsp paprika (forgot because didn't see)
-salt (2 tsp)
-pepper (1/2 tsp)
-1.5 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-1 can diced tomatoes
-1 can tomato sauce (16 oz)
-Chicken broth - probably used 1 cup
-elbow macaroni

Directions:
1. Brown turkey with cloves and serranos
2. Stir in all ingredients except pasta.  
3. Cook on low 4-6 hrs in crockpot
3. Cook elbow macaroni separately (because didn't fit in crock pot).  Add in at end.
