Rotel tomatoes

🥗Healthier: diced tomatoes with green chilies

💰Cheaper: canned diced tomatoes

Diced tomatoes provide similar flavor without added cost.

Start by breaking down the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the turkey until browned and fully cooked, ensuring there is no pink left.

Add Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder to the turkey, mixing well.

Add diced jalapenos, onions, and garlic if desired, but the creator keeps it simple and skips this step.

Add Velveeta cheese and Mexican cheese to the skillet.

Pour in 1 can of 12 oz Rotel tomatoes and mix well.

Stir continuously on low heat until the cheese is fully melted, being patient as it takes time.

Add heavy cream to the mixture to make it creamier and thinner, stirring well to avoid clumps.

Cover the skillet and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Optional: Sprinkle additional cheese and parsley flakes on top before serving.
