Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 small onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 c grated pepper jack cheese

1/4 c sliced green onions
2 jalapenos, sliced

Directions
QUESO-STYLE GROUND TURKEY
In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Add the minced onion and garlic and let cook for a minute until softened. Next, add the ground turkey, making sure to break it up with a wooden spoon.
Cook the turkey until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low, and add in the grated pepper jack cheese. Stir frequently until the cheese is combined.
Remove from heat and keep warm until ready to use. This will keep refrigerated for up to 4 days; reheat slowly over low heat in a pan on the stovetop, stirring frequently.
