Sure do!


Cube your turkey up put a slice of jalapeño with them take a pound of bacon cut into 1/3’s wrap turkey and pepper with bacon.

Put on a cookie sheet then take a mixture of brown sugar and chilli powder and sprinkle over the top.

Put in oven for 15-20 mins. 5 mins before done, remove from oven pull them out and drizzle either honey or pure maple syrup over them and put back in for the last 5 mins. I usually put the oven on 400.

Sounds good...I do mine different.

Slice turkey breast thin cut the longer strips in half.
Lay the turkey flat lay a piece of bacon on top, then spoon on about 1/2 t-spoon of cream cheese spread...I like the chives flavor) then top with a 1/4" thick slice of fresh jalapeno, roll up, and spear with a toothpick.  Place on a cookie sheet and put on broil  for 20+ minutes.

The turkey will be done WAY before the bacon is cooked. What do you do to cook the bacon and not overcook the turkey?

I have made these 7-8 times now,in all different combinations and I have not had any issues.I usually cook them on the bbq for approx 30 minutes.I believe I did them in the oven once.I find that they are never going to all be perfect as not all the bacon will be cooked,or some cooked more,same with the bird,still always been great tasting.I never worry about it all that much either way.I prefer my peppers to be well done,along with the bacon.I marinate the bird usually for at least 12-24 hours so I can eat it any way its cooked,I have only had a few pieces that were "well done" most are the way I like it.

I cut mine in larger size strips to grill and marinate in Italian dressing overnight.  I cut the jalapenos in longer strips and place 2 or 3 on top of the turkey.  Then, wrap the bacon around the turkey and jalapenos and place toothpicks in it to hold.

I do mine on the grill on medium to medium high heat.  I keep turning them so that the bacon doesn't burn.  I actually turn them so they get direct heat on all 4 sides.  I actually made them two nights ago and by far my favorite meal.

I also baste mine while cooking with a little oil mixed in with the sauce/marinade that I use to marinate them.

You do realize that smoked bacon is in theory cooked?

I've never had a problem

Ok so I ended up doing a mixture of Sam and Neal's recipes:



Wild Turkey Jalapeno Poppers Wrapped in Bacon:

- marinate in Italian dressing for at least 12hrs (already had one breast marinating since yesterday)
- cut jalapenos in half length wise and remove seeds
- cut turkey strips long enough to match jalapenos and about 1/4in thick
- fill each half with chive cream cheese
- coat each side of turkey strips with brown sugar
- place turkey strips on top of cream cheese stuffed jalapenos
- wrap with bacon (hickory or apple wood), sprinkle with black pepper.
- place on cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes


- while waiting create a dipping sauce by mixing mayo and Dijon mustard (50/50). Add honey to desired sweetness.

Both of my daughters loved these. Thanks guys for all the tips
