Looking for something to do with your leftover Thanksgiving turkey? I was. We have tons of it. So much, that if I didn’t get creative, a lot of turkey was going to go to waste. I browsed tons of recipes for leftover turkey online, but none of them seemed quite right. As we were getting ready to watch the Georgia game today, I decided to make some dip to snack on. Then it dawned on me – queso dip! We regularly make this dip, but surely it would only be made better by this post-Thanksgiving addition.
1 box Velveeta cheese (32 oz)
1 can original Rotel
1 cup turkey, cut up
Step 1 – Cut Velveeta into cubes. Once cubed, place in a crock pot on low heat.
Step 2 – When cheese is melted, drain 1/2 of the liquid out of the can of Rotel. Add Rotel and turkey to the melted cheese. Stir.
Step 3 – Leave cheese on low heat for at least 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
This dip can get thick, so if you prefer a thinner dip, don’t drain as much liquid from the can of Rotel. If you accidentally drain too much, but still want thinner dip, you could always add a little bit of salsa to the cheese mixture. When I first thought to try this, I wasn’t sure if you would be able to taste the turkey, but the flavor really comes through. I highly recommend this recipe if you have lots of turkey left over. So very yummy.
Since Greenleigh loved this dip, we will definitely be making it again!
Making variations with this kind of recipe is easy by adding some ingredients like ham or bacon even cheeses and herbs.
