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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing a non-stick skillet over medium heat and adding the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is warm, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the dip warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired, alongside whole-grain tortilla chips or vegetable sticks like celery and bell peppers.
