Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to carefully scrape out the seeds and white membranes.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey until it is fully browned and crumbled, then drain any excess liquid.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, cream cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Generously fill each jalapeño half with the turkey and cream cheese mixture, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
Cut each bacon slice in half and wrap one piece tightly around the center of each stuffed jalapeño, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Arrange the poppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the bacon is golden and the peppers are tender.
