Jalapeño poppers are a perfect finger food at parties. They feature prominently at our house as a dinner side because my 11-year old loves assembling and eating them. So it is a good way to involve him in meal preparation.

Ingredients:

  • Ramstead Ranch Bacon or side pork (be sure to add salt to taste for side pork)
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • Cheese, I like shredded Mexican cheese blend and cream cheese

Instructions:

  1. Cut jalapeños lengthwise, deseed them and remove ribs
  2. Fill jalapeños with cheese (put cream cheese in before shredded cheese)
  3. Cut bacon in half and wrap bacon strips around the cheese filled jalapeño and secure it with a toothpick.
  4. Cook until the bacon is nice and crispy, either in the air frier for ~20 minutes at 390°F or in the oven at 400°F for ~15 minutes.

RECIPE: Cooking Pasture Raised Turkey

Before diving into the recipe details, there are two keys to success you want to adhere to when cooking pasture raised turkey vs “organic” or conventionally raised birds. 1) Plan to cook your bird at 325˚F for 12-15 min. per lb. 2) While the recommended safe cooking temperature of poultry is 165˚F, connoisseurs tell us that 145˚F is a better internal temperature to target. Your dark meat will be fully cooked, and the breast meat will be moist and delicious. Your pasture raised turkey will be incredibly delicious if you don’t overcook it.
