Friday Fun: Duck Poppers



Ok, so even though I live in Arkansas I have not eaten a lot of wild game (duck, turkey, deer or goose). I know it's shocking, but thanks to some great friends, that was resolved during a Men's Weekend with our church. With one of the gentlemen owning a duck hunting lodge, there was plenty of duck to be had, and one of his favorite recipes which he shared with us was Duck Poppers. This easy to make recipe was a hit at our Men's Weekend and is sure to be a hit at your house.

Duck Poppers

Meat (you can go with duck, wild turkey or simply chicken from the store)
8oz. Cream Cheese, softened slightly
2 fresh jalapeƱos, sliced
8 slices bacon (cut bacon slices in half - you will not need a full slice of bacon to wrap the meat with)
Toothpicks

Directions:
1. Cut your choice of meat roughly into one inch pieces


2. Butterfly the meat cubes (Butterfly means the meat is laid out flat on a cutting board and cut in half parallel to the board from one side almost all the way to the other. A small "hinge" is left at the one side, which is used to fold the meat out like a book.
3. Place a small amount of cream cheese and a slice of jalapeno into the meat


4. Wrap the meat with bacon, and secure with a toothpick


5. Place on a preheated grill and cook until done*
* All poultry must be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160° F.




Summer is right around the corner- we can't wait to share more grilling recipes with you!

Stay Cool,
