Leftover Turkey Queso Fundido
Leftover Turkey Queso Fundido
"Leftover Turkey Queso Fundido – Shredded turkey cooked up with crunchy peppers and onion and a little spice – coated with 2 types of gooey, melted stringy cheese... This is also a great sharing recipe – perfect if you still have guests or visitors round. You can dip some crunchy nachos, or some crudites if you want something a little bit healthier (although, after all that cheese, what does it really matter how healthy it is). Yum!"
