Fiesta chili dip

A hearty dip that fills people up is always a hit at casual parties. This meaty dip can be made a day in advance, simply refrigerate it and add the cheese before baking. You can serve it topped with sour cream or guacamole but I enjoyed it plain. My friends loved this cheesy, Mexican style dip!

Ingredients

1 T vegetable oil
1 lb ground turkey
½ t salt
2 t chili powder
1 t ground cumin
1 can (15 oz) vegetarian chili with beans
1 can (11 oz) corn kernels, well drained
½ cup thinly sliced scallions
½ cup chunky tomato salsa
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

2.In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and season with the salt. Brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Stir in the chili powder and cumin. Add the chili, corn, scallions and salsa. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a shallow 1.5 quart baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top.

4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve warm.
