This high-protein cottage cheese queso is a healthier take on the classic game day appetizer that everyone will love.
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 pack taco seasoning
  • 1½ cups cottage cheese
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chilis
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sliced green onions for topping
  • Chips, crackers, and/or raw veggies for serving
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and brown the turkey, breaking into pieces as it cooks. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine.
  3. Optional: blend the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender. If you're short on time or don't want to dirty a dish, you can skip this step and just add it right in! Add the cottage cheese and Rotel and stir to combine. Let cook for a few minutes until heated through, then add half of the shredded cheese. Stir to combine to allow the cheese to melt. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed!
  4. Transfer the queso dip to an oven-safe baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly.
  5. Serve warm topped with sliced green onions and alongside chips, crackers, and raw veggies.
  6. Enjoy!
