The Best Turkey and Bacon Jalapeno Poppers

Appetizers are such a tasty way to try a variety of foods without having all of the guilt from eating a full entrée. If you are looking for healthier food options to try in the new year, then these Turkey and Bacon Jalapeno Poppers are exactly what you are looking for.

TURKEY AND BACON JALAPENO POPPERS

I don’t know about you but stuffed jalapeno poppers are simply divine! They are such an easy appetizer to make plus they are definitely budget friendly.

I think one of the other reasons I love making them is that they are so versatile. You can add a variety of different proteins to change up the flavor.

If you love appetizers like I do, then I have a few other ones that you might really enjoy! Like my Baked Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings or my Cajun Shrimp Cups. Of course, my Buffalo Blasts are a tasty option as well.

Before you get started, here are a few suggestions and tips when making these Weight Watcher friendly appetizers.

CAN YOU FREEZE JALAPENO POPPERS?

Yes, you can freeze them. Prepare them as you normally would. Then to freeze them, add them to a silicone lined or foil lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer until frozen. Then remove them and put them into a freezer bag.

To reheat them, place them onto a baking sheet lined with foil and place them into a 350 degree oven until they are heated thoroughly. Depending on your oven this could take 30 or so minutes.

CAN I MAKE JALAPENO POPPERS AHEAD OF TIME?

Absolutely. You can pre-make the cream cheese part of the appetizer up to three days in advance. Store it in an air-tight container in the fridge until you are ready to assemble them. Then when you are ready to make them, prepare as directed.

WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED

• Jalapeños – a key ingredient when making this appetizer.
• Cream cheese, fat-free – this is what makes them so creamy.
• Garlic cloves – all great recipes use garlic.
• Salt – this ingredient really brings out the flavor in a dish.
• Pepper – adds the right amount of flavor.
