Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
- 10 oz Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
- 8 oz lean ground turkey
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
Instructions
In a medium skillet, cook the lean ground turkey over medium heat until browned and cooked through. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet with the turkey and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper, mixing well to evenly coat the turkey and onions.
Open the can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies and do not drain. Add it directly to the skillet, stirring well.
Reduce the heat to low and add the low-fat cream cheese to the mixture. Stir frequently until the cream cheese is completely melted and integrated into the turkey mixture.
Gradually add the low-fat cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it is fully melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the dip into a serving bowl.
Garnish with chopped green onions for an added burst of flavor just before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of low-fat tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or whole-grain crackers for dipping.
