If you’re looking for a new holiday or game day dip to serve, you need to try this Ground Turkey Cheese Dip. It’s amazing as a hot dip. It takes a typical queso option to a whole new level. Plus, it’s lightened up, so it’s not going to work against your Weight Watchers points. I used Laughing Cow cheese wedges, which melt beautifully, and it keeps the points lower versus using regular cheese. One serving is only 5 points, so you will likely have enough points for chips as well.

This tasty dip comes together in less than 30 minutes and is always the hit of the party. Serve it up with some tortilla chips, Quest protein chips or your favorite veggies. It doesn’t matter what it goes with – it’s delicious!

Ingredients you need to make Ground Turkey Cheese Dip:

1 lb ground turkey
2 garlic cloves, diced
6 light laughing cow wedges
2 (10 oz) cans Rotel diced tomato with green chilies
12 oz can of corn, drained
1 cup reduced fat shredded cheese
Fresh tomatoes and green onion for topping (optional)

How to make Ground Turkey Cheese Dip (step by step):

In a large pan, cook the ground turkey over medium heat on the stove. Add in the garlic while the turkey is cooking.
Once the turkey is cooked, add the laughing cow wedges and continue cooking on medium heat. The cheese will eventually melt into the meat mixture. Once it does, turn the stovetop to low.
Add the diced tomatoes, drained corn and 3/4 cup of cheese. Leave the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese for the topping.
Stir well while cooking over low heat. Once the cheese has melted, remove it from the stovetop, and sprinkle it with cheese, fresh tomatoes, and green onion.
Serve warm and enjoy!
