TACO DIP WITH GROUND TURKEY



Taco Dip With Ground Turkey image

I came up with this recipe for a party and it has gotten rave reviews every time I make it. I originally started out with ground beef, but have switched to turkey because it's healthier, it doesn't have to be drained, and with the taco seasoning, you can hardly tell the difference anyway! I do not recommend fat free cheddar cheese as it does not melt as easily, and it can make it more difficult to get through all of the layers with the tortilla chips.
