- 8 oz turkey breast chopped
- 2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar
- 8 strips bacon cooked crisp & crumbled
- 1 cup grated romano cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved, for garnish
- thinly sliced green onion for garnish
To a large mixing bowl, add the cheeses & sour cream. Stir everything together until evenly incorporated.
Add the meat and seasonings to the bowl, stirring again to evenly combine.
Transfer the dip to an ovensafe skillet, and spread out in an even layer using a spatula.
Sprinkle the bacon evenly out over top, followed by the halved tomatoes.
Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes. Leave the skillet in the oven, and turn off.
Turn the oven to broil and watching carefully (to prevent burning), broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese dip is golden brown & bubbly on top.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the green onions evenly out overtop of the dip and then serve warm with your favorite dipping options.
- The dip can go from golden brown to burned quickly while broiling so watch it carefully. Don't walk away or rely on a timer.
- You can use lunch meat for this dip, but I recommend a thicker cut like the carving board style. Alternatively it's great for holiday leftovers and also for leftover slices of turkey breast.
- This is a thicker cheese dip, so I don't recommend serving it with the traditional potato chip.
