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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Stir in the garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper, mixing well to evenly coat the turkey and onions.
Step 4
Open the can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies and do not drain. Add it directly to the skillet, stirring well.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Gradually add the low-fat cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it is fully melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the dip into a serving bowl.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped green onions for an added burst of flavor just before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of low-fat tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or whole-grain crackers for dipping.
