Deliciously easy, creamy, and simple Turkey Jalapeno Poppers. The perfect holiday appetizer. With a touch of heat from the jalapeno, the creaminess from the cream cheese, some heartiness from the ground turkey, and a crispy, salty crunch from the bacon, these Turkey Jalapeno Poppers are the ultimate holidays made easy appetizer!

Turkey jalapeno poppers are the perfect holiday appetizer

My husband has been wanting me to put this Turkey Jalapeno Poppers recipe on the blog forever. He used to manage a restaurant, and every morning his cooks would make something for the kitchen to share and enjoy. And they made these Turkey Jalapeno Poppers which they called “turkey beaks” and my husband was hooked.

He came home and told me all about them, and when I realized they only had 4 ingredients I figured it was worth giving them a try. And I am so glad I did. They are easy, delicious, and the perfect holiday appetizer. Turkey Jalapeno Poppers whip up quick, are inexpensive to make, and are a real crowd pleaser. Just imagine how quickly these will disappear at your New Year’s Eve party!

Check out this video showing how easy they are to make:

The Holiday Season is always a little chaotic. I come from a family of ten kids, and my husband’s family has 7, so just seeing our families eats up our time, and gatherings always involve loads of food. This is why I love this Turkey Jalapeno Poppers recipe for holiday gatherings. It makes a lot, it is quick and easy to make, and it is delicious. Not to mention the use of the turkey (ground turkey and turkey bacon) makes it a lighter option, so it is a great appetizer for even those who are counting their calories or getting ready for those New Year’s resolutions.

It is an indulgence without all the normal, indulge-y things, it is inexpensive, it is easy, it is light. But you would never know it!

Mmmm these disappeared quick at our holiday party, turkey jalapeno poppers are fantastic

Save-A-Lot

I was shopping at Save-A-Lot, browsing the beautiful fresh produce when their big, fresh looking jalapenos caught my eye. So I grabbed a few and stuck them in my cart. I wasn’t sure how I was going to use them, just that I would. Later when I was in the meat section, and saw the ground turkey I knew I had to make these turkey jalapeno poppers for the holidays and share them with you guys! I can’t believe it took me this long.Turkey Jalapeno Poppers are an easy and delicious appetizer

You may remember my post with this Brownie Lover’s Cheesecake, and my love of this store for the budget conscious, Save-A-Lot. Well, all the things I loved from that post are still true. You still get quality ingredients at low prices, sometimes as much as 40% lower than conventional grocery stores. With 4 kids who eat a lot, I appreciate this. Plus they have the Save-A-Lot Smart Shopper Club, which is easy to join and means you get the latest specials delivered each week to your inbox. This email offers insights into the specials as well as tasty and affordable recipes (like this one), and even helpful kitchen tips and entertaining hacks.

  • In a mixing bowl combine cream cheese and browned ground turkey, and stir to combine.
  • Spoon cream cheese filling into the jalapenos.

    These sound good and could very well be our NYE menu! We're grilling chicken wings, so this would go great on the grill as well.
