Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 pound Extra-lean ground turkey
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (low-sodium)
- 0.5 cup White onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by placing a non-stick skillet over medium heat and adding the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and no pink remains.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the turkey with garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the meat.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet and gently mix with the turkey. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, soften the low-fat cream cheese by microwaving it for about 45-60 seconds until it becomes smooth and easily stirred.
Combine the contents of the skillet into the bowl with the cream cheese, mixing thoroughly until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the dip is consistent in texture.
Serve the dip warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired, alongside whole-grain tortilla chips or vegetable sticks like celery and bell peppers.
