How to Make Healthier Jalapeno Poppers
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Cut each jalapeno pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the stem, seeds, and white ribs thoroughly.
- Cut the softened neufchatel cheese into 24 equal-sized pieces (approximately 1 tablespoon each).
- Place one piece of neufchatel cheese into each jalapeno pepper half.
- Cut each slice of turkey bacon in half. Wrap one half-slice of bacon around each stuffed jalapeno half.
- Secure each jalapeno popper with a toothpick, if needed, to keep the bacon in place.
- Arrange the jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the bacon is crispy and slightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
