WILD TURKEY JALAPEÑO POPPERS

MATHEWS STAFF OCTOBER 1, 2018

Bring on Spring with a little kick from the Mathews Kitchen.

Cream cheese, jalapeños and bacon are a standard way to dress up game meat, but the secret to wild turkey poppers is in the sauce – so don’t short cut the marinade gang.

Get Cooking

  1. Mix marinade in a large bowl.
  2. Cut turkey breast into bite-sized cubes, place in marinade and refrigerate. For best results, let turkey marinade for up to 24 hours.
  3. Slice jalapeño peppers. Remove seeds if less heat is desired.
  4. Halve the bacon slices and place on flat surface.
  5. Stack turkey, cream cheese and a jalapeño slice onto the bacon. Wrap edges around the top of the stack and hold together using a toothpick.
  6. Repeat this process until you have the desired amount of poppers.
  7. Grill poppers until bacon is crispy and turkey appears firm. Serve immediately.
