Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled turkey turkey turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, for coating

Instructions

  2. Stir in the green onions and crumbled turkey turkey turkey bacon.
  3. Shape the mixture into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese ball to firm up.
  4. Before serving, unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the chopped pecans or walnuts until fully coated.

Notes

For best results, allow the cheese ball to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to soften it slightly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can substitute any type of nut for the pecans or walnuts. For a spicier cheese ball, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
