Note

This dip is best served chilled or at room temperature. For best texture, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing.

You can prepare the base mixture up to one day in advance and refrigerate. Add the toppings just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.

For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey and bacon, and use vegetable bouillon instead of chicken.

Adjust the cayenne pepper to taste for more or less heat.
