It's like a Scotch egg but theres a jalapeño popper in the middle and it's wrapped in bacon. Healthy. As. Fuck.

Ingredients

  • 8 medium jalapeño peppers, stemmed, halved, and seeded
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • S & P to taste
  • 8 slices thin-cut bacon

Instructions

  1. Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Stuff each jalapeño half with a few tablespoons of cream cheese. Place the halves back together again to form 8 jalapeños.
  3. Season the ground turkey. Flatten about ¼ pound of ground beef in the palm of your hand and place a stuffed jalapeño in the center.
  4. Fold the beef around the jalapeño, forming an egg shape.
  5. Wrap the beef-covered jalapeño with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
  6. Place the jalapeños in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them and cook for 15 minutes.
