Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, black beans, and canned tomatoes with chilies.
Season the mixture with chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture becomes creamy.

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
