2 8-ounce packages reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
2 16-ounce cans Old El Paso™ fat free refried beans
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

In a large skillet cook ground turkey and jalapeño, if using, with half of the taco seasoning mix (about 2 tablespoons) until turkey is no longer pink; remove from heat and set aside.

SEVEN-LAYER DIP

Seven-Layer Dip image

For this recipe, the traditional 7-layer dip has been revisited so that each layer is good enough to eat on its own, but isn't so much effort that the whole thing can't be finished in 20 minutes. The order of the layers offers some delightful moments, like where the cheese melts into the warm refried beans or where the cool sour cream meets the fiery salsa. Cilantro and scallions serve as a refreshing counterpoint, and Fritos lend added crunch. No need to dig out your trifle bowl: A platter with a lip is preferred here for easier scooping.
