INGREDIENTS

3.75 oz ground turkey

1.5 oz Neufchâtel cheese

3 slices bacon

4 large jalapeños

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp chives

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack on top for maximum crispiness.

• 2

  In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until fully browned and crumbled, then drain any excess liquid.

• 3

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, softened Neufchâtel cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and chopped chives until smooth.

• 4

  Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and white membranes.

• 5

  Fill each jalapeño half generously with the turkey and cheese mixture.

• 6

  Cut each bacon slice in half lengthwise and wrap one piece tightly around each stuffed jalapeño, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

• 7

  Place the poppers on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bacon is rendered and crispy.

• 8

  Let the poppers cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
