Ingredients

1/3 Cup, chopped Onions
1 Tbsp Garlic
1/2 Lb Ground Turkey
4 Oz Turkey Bacon
9 Pepper Jalapeno Peppers
1 Oz Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 Oz Goat Cheese
1/2 Tsp, ground Oregano
1 Tsp Dill
1 Tsp Pepper
1 Tsp Salt

Directions

Preheat grill to 350 degrees F.

Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat and spray lightly with a little coconut or olive oil.

Toss in the red onions and garlic and cook until the onion becomes brown and somewhat translucent.

Toss in the lean ground turkey and cook.

Use a wooden spatula to chop up the turkey as it cooks, removing any big clumps of meat.

Prepare the turkey bacon.

Slice the turkey bacon vertically in half in order to create two long, narrow strips of bacon from one slice of bacon.

Repeat for all 9 strips of bacon.

Prepare the jalapeños.

Slice the jalapeño down the middle.

Using a small spoon, carve out the insides and scrape away all of the white seeds.

In a bowl, mix together cooked ground turkey, Greek yogurt, goat cheese, and the seasonings.

Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño-half with the mixture, then wrap 1/2 slice of turkey bacon around it.

Repeat.

Place the poppers on a grill, with the mixture facing up, and allow them to grill for 23 to 25 minutes, until you see the edges of the jalapeño turn brown and the edges of the turkey bacon become crispier.

Remove from the heat and enjoy immediately!
