Stuffed & Deliciously Smoked Jalapeños

[lakestatefishing]

I had a batch of smoked jalapeños that came out awesome last night. Should have taken some pics! Yesterday I picked up some cherry wood pucks for my OBS, and a jalapeño rack at a local outdoor recreation store. Stopped at the grocery store and picked up 24 jalapeños, 1 lb of ground turkey, 1 packet of taco seasoning, cream cheese, and turkey bacon. Obviously I was intending on making this delicacy low-fat.

• Brown 1 lb of turkey, added packet of taco seasoning, and cook as directed then cool to room temperature.
• Cut tops off jalapeños and remove seeds.
• Cut vertical slit in very bottom of the jalapeño so excess juice can drip out while cooking/smoking.
• Mix taco meat and cream cheese
• Stuff the jalapeños with the taco seasoning/cream cheese
• Cut a 2-3 inch piece of bacon and attach to the top of each of the jalapeños and affix with a tooth pick

I smoked these at 200 degrees for 3 hours. They were amazing and disappeared fast. I hope you enjoy my recipe.
