Boneless Breast, Turkey Tenderloins

Ingredients

8 oz TURKEY TENDERLOIN or CUTLETS

1/2 c Italian dressing

7 Slices TURKEY BACON

20 pickled jalapeno pepper rings

4 oz Pepper Jack cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Directions

Slice turkey lengthwise to measure 1/4 to 1/2-inches thick. Cut into squares, yielding about 20 squares.

Place turkey in self-sealing plastic bag or glass dish and add Italian dressing. Seal and turn or stir to coat all surfaces. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

Cut each bacon strip into 3 equal sized pieces.

Drain jalapeno peppers and place on paper towels to remove excess liquid.

Remove turkey from dressing and discard dressing.

Assemble appetizers by stacking 1 square turkey, 1 slice cheese and 1 jalapeno pepper ring. Wrap each stack with a turkey bacon strip and secure with a toothpick.

Repeat until all ingredients are used.

Grill or broil turkey poppers, 4 to 5 inches from a preheated grill or broiler. Use medium to low heat and turn half-way through cooking to brown all sides. Cook thoroughly until turkey square has lost all pink color inside. If necessary, drain any fat.

Serve warm.
