Introduction
You would never guess that fat free cream cheese is used here, because the flavor of the Italian turkey covers it up! These are a wonderful party food for very low calories (check out the calorie count of a full fat recipe!) and I've even served them as a side dish!These are also phenomenal in jalapenos. They are bigger, so just use 10 peppers, and double the calories for each one. You would never guess that fat free cream cheese is used here, because the flavor of the Italian turkey covers it up!
