TURKEY JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown ground turkey in a medium skillet over medium heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, drain any fat off, and set aside.
• I have Anolon skilletand I absolutely love them! They are made of heavy duty materials, they heat evenly, and they even have a lifetime warranty
• Bring a big pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat
• Dump jalapenos into the water and boil for 2-3 minutes
• Remove from water, cut tops off, cut in half length-wise (see images) deseed, and set aside
• In a mixing bowl combine cream cheese and browned ground turkey, and stir to combine.
• Spoon cream cheese filling into the jalapenos.
• Wrap each one in turkey bacon, and place on a baking sheet.
• One other trick that I use is I line my baking sheets with a silicone baking mats They make clean up quick and easy.
• Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.
• Turn oven on to broil on high, and broil until bacon is crisp (5 mins)

JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep. Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membranes (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things HOT). Smear cream cheese into each jalapeno half and then wrap with a bacon piece (1/2 slice). Secure by sticking a toothpick through the middle. Place on the rack in the baking sheet.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. (You don't want the bacon pieces to shrink so much they start to squeeze the jalapenos.) If after 45 minutes the bacon doesn't look brown enough, just keep cooking until the bacon is sizzling.
• Serve immediately, or they're also great at room temperature.

JALAPENO POPPER AND BACON MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Position the oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to broil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Pulse the jalapenos and parsley in a mini food processor until finely chopped and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, but do not mix the ingredients yet. Place in the refrigerator to keep cold.
• Pulse the bacon in the mini food processor until finely chopped and add to the meat mixture. Mix together using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Dampen your hands with water and shape the meat mixture into 30 meatballs (each about 1 inch diameter) or use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scooper. Make an indentation in the center of each meatball with your thumb and stuff with a frozen cream cheese cube. Mold the meat around the cream cheese. Work quickly so that the meatballs stay cold. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
• Broil until golden brown and firm, 6 to 7 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
• Meanwhile, stir the maple syrup and Sriracha together in a small bowl.
• Brush the top of each meatball with the syrup mixture. Broil 1 minute and 45 seconds more. Top each meatball with a Cheddar square. Broil for about 15 seconds more until melted.

AIR FRYER JALAPEñO POPPERS

Steps:

• Working with disposable rubber gloves to protect your skin, halve each jalapeño lengthwise, slicing through the stem. Remove the seeds and white ribs with a spoon or small melon baller. Arrange the halves on a baking sheet rounded sides down. If any of the halves tilt sideways instead of standing straight up, slice a sliver of skin off the rounded side, making sure not to cut through to the cavity, so they sit level.
• Add the cream cheese and Cheddar to a small bowl and mix together with a rubber spatula until combined. Stir together the breadcrumbs and potato chips in a medium bowl.
• Divide the cream cheese mixture among the jalapeño halves, smoothing it down with your finger or the back of a butter knife so the filling is level with the top of the jalapeno, not mounded. (You may have extra filling depending on how large your jalapenos are.) Firmly press the breadcrumb mixture over the cream cheese to fully coat. Spray the breadcrumbs with nonstick spray.
• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and set to cook for 4 minutes. Arrange the poppers in a single layer in the basket so they're not touching, working in batches if necessary. Air fry the poppers without opening the basket to check on them. When the air fryer turns off, let the poppers sit in the basket for another 4 minutes without opening the machine. (this will allow the poppers to cool slightly and the cheese to set so it doesn't slide out-don't worry, it'll still be gooey.)
• Carefully open the air fryer basket and remove each popper with a spatula. Serve the poppers sprinkled with the bacon.

JALAPENO PEPPER POPPERS

Steps:

• If you are NOT A HEAT-FREAK, you can tone down the jalapenos by soaking them in milk for about 15 minutes before stuffing, but this makes them real, real mild.
• If you don't mind a little warmth, just follow the rest of the recipe without soaking.
• If you do soak them, rinse and blot the peppers dry before stuffing them.
• WARNING: Wear rubber gloves when slicing and cleaning jalapeno peppers.
• You can get real bad chemical burns if you don't!
• Do not touch your eyes or suck your thumb after preparing peppers until after you have washed your hands real well, even if you do wear rubber gloves.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cheeses, bacon, and seasonings, and mix well.
• Stuff jalapeno halves generously with cheese mixture.
• Roll tops in breadcrumbs, refrigerate for 10 minutes, and coat again with the breadcrumbs.
• Place on a greased baking sheet, and bake, uncovered, in a preheated 300degF oven for 20 minutes for a spicy flavor, 30 minutes for medium flavor, or 40 minutes for mild.
• Serve with dipping sauces of choice or just plain.
