This is a great dip with out all the fat, you can use no salt chips to help with the fat. I have made this several time and no one knows it has ground turkey instead of hamburger. Not worried about the calories just add ground beef instead.

2 pkg. taco seasoning mix
1 can refried beans
1 med. container low-fat sour cream
