TURKEY POPPERS

Steps:

• Turkey Poppers: Are you looking for a different snack to serve during the endless round of football games? Do you have some wild turkey breast from this year's hunting season still in your freezer? Or do you possibly have some turkey from the regular holiday feast that you are looking to turn into creative leftovers? You need wild turkey breast, jalapeno or banana peppers, bacon, cream cheese and toothpicks. Cut a dozen jalapeno peppers into halves and thoroughly clean them out so you won't inflame the sinuses and senses of your guests. You can substitute banana peppers if you wish so you won't have the game interrupted by smoke coming from the nostrils. Marinate one wild turkey breast in Italian dressing for 24 hours. Cut the turkey meat into pieces that will easily fit inside the pepper halves. Spread cream cheese inside pepper halves and place turkey strips on top of the cream cheese20and secure with a toothpick. Wrap a bacon strip around the outside as additional insurance policy. Place the peppers on the barbeque grill (or broiler) until the bacon is done. Let them cool before serving. The cream cheese gets very hot. From Bill Hilts, Jr.
