Grilled Turkey Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers
- 6 whole Jalapeno Peppers, Sliced In Half Lengthwise, Seeded And Stemmed
- 1- 1/2 cup Ground Turkey Meat
- 1- 1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 12 slices Your Favorite Bacon
- 24 whole Toothpicks
- Begin by adding a tablespoon or so of turkey into each halved jalapeno pepper.
- Top with a generous amount of cheese, then wrap the jalapeno in a slice of bacon.
- The goal is to cover as much of the jalapeno as possible, then secure them with two toothpicks.
- Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat your grill on a medium heat, allowing one side of the grill to be set to a much lower heat.
- Why, you ask?
- Because of the fat on the bacon, it will drip down onto your coals, or gas grill, and it can quickly ignite into a much larger fire, which is not desired.
- Keep a close eye on the grill, and carefully rotate the peppers, until the bacon is cooked, roughly 12 minutes or so.
- Please note that the bacon does not have to be fully crisp as you would cook it in a pan or in the oven, but just gently crisped.
- Plate and serve, keeping in mind to remove the toothpicks.
- Trust me when you cut into these, you get a perfect balance and texture from the smoky bacon, perfectly cooked and moist turkey and melted cheese, and just the right mild heat from the pepper.
- The combination of flavors will get any party started.
- Enjoy.
