Creative Turkey Cheese Ball


Friend Margaret shared this, just in time for the Holidays.
What would a party spread be without a good cheese ball (or three) for our guests to "gobble" down, and this one has a great presentation.


Cheese-Ball Ingredients: 

  • 16 oz cream cheese 
  • 4 oz onion dip (like for potato chips) 
  • 2 cups shredded colby and monterey jack cheese combined (you may substitute cheese of your choice) 
  • 1/2 TB Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1/2 A-1 steak sauce 
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon 2 TB Mrs. 
  • Dash original salt substitute. 
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped 
  • 1 green onion finely chopped 
  • 1/4 cup carrots finely chopped (may sub: shredded Ritz cracker crumbs or seasoned bread crumbs) 

Preparation:

Mix together Worcestershire sauce, A-1 and lemon juice.
Combine ingredients and cream together by hand.
Form into desired shape. Coat with cracker crumbs, or more shredded cheese.

Used to make the turkey cheese-ball:

Small piece of red bell pepper or tomato (for turkey wattle)
